Hello Houston – The Commuter Cut (June 29, 2026)

Hello Houston PBS

There are two buckets of changes. There are changes that effect loan limits, and then there are a bucket of changes that affect repayment plans.
Federal student loan borrowers have repayment plans they can get on that are based on their income and plans based on their loan balance and term.
Even for borrowing loans going forward, we have a few buckets here as well. Parent borrowers used to be able to borrow up to the Cost of Attendance minus other aid. Going forward, parents can only borrow up to $20k per student per year, and a maximum of $65k per student.
