Trump Administration Replaces SAVE Student Loan Plan with New Repayment Assistance Plan (RAP)

Trump Administration Replaces SAVE Student Loan Plan with New Repayment Assistance Plan (RAP)

The Trump administration has introduced a new student loan program called the Repayment Assistance Plan (RAP), effectively replacing the previous Saving on a Valuable Education (SAVE) plan from the Biden era. The federal Department of Education is encouraging borrowers to enroll in RAP. This new plan caps interest on student loans but extends the repayment period from the previous 20-25 years to 30 years. This change is part of a series of rapid and often confusing alterations to the student loan system, which has seen various income-based repayment plans introduced, struck down by courts, and then reinstated or modified. Dr. Jalil Bishop, co-founder of the Equity Research Cooperative, noted the chaotic nature of these changes, stating that new plans are constantly unfolding under the current administration. His organization is currently involved in a lawsuit to prevent the automatic transfer of borrowers from SAVE plans to RAP plans.

Student Loan Borrowers Face Repayment Plan Changes Amid Legal Battles and SAVE Plan Elimination

Student Loan Borrowers Face Repayment Plan Changes Amid Legal Battles and SAVE Plan Elimination

As of September 16, 2026, millions of student loan borrowers are navigating significant changes to their repayment plans following the elimination of the Saving on a Valuable Education (SAVE) plan by the Trump administration. The SAVE plan, initially introduced by the Biden administration, aimed to provide more affordable payment options and easier pathways to loan forgiveness. However, a lengthy legal battle initiated by Republican-led states led to its termination. Borrowers now have until September 29 to select a new repayment plan to avoid being automatically enrolled in plans with potentially higher monthly costs. An ongoing lawsuit seeks to block this forced transfer of SAVE borrowers to new plans, but a judicial ruling is still pending. The Department of Education has advised borrowers to promptly choose a 'lawful' repayment option, despite reports of glitches, incorrect billing statements, and delinquency notices experienced by some borrowers during this transition period.

U.S. Education Department Data Reveals High Student Loan Nonpayment Rates at 500 Colleges

The U.S. Education Department has released new data indicating that at least 40% of recent students who borrowed federal loans from 500 colleges and universities are not repaying them. This data covers approximately 17 million borrowers who entered repayment between January 2020 and May 2025. Eileen Connor, head of the Project on Predatory Student Lending, described these numbers as "jaw-dropping." The majority of these institutions, 424 out of 500, are private, for-profit schools. Examples include Tulsa Welding School and Miller-Motte College, where over half of recent borrowers are not making payments. Many cosmetology and barbering schools also show high nonpayment rates, such as Legends Barber College, where 81% of its 100 borrowers are not repaying their loans. In contrast, public and private non-profit institutions had average nonpayment rates around 15%. The Education Department declined to comment directly on the story but referred to a previous statement from Undersecretary of Education Nicholas K...
