NASFAA Business Affiliate Webinar: Compliant Ways to Educate Your Students about Graduate PLUS Alternatives

Recent changes to federal lending have created new challenges for graduate and professional students who previously relied on the Graduate PLUS loan. Institutions are now navigating how to inform students about private loan alternatives while remaining compliant with federal regulations and institutional policies.

In this session, Juno will walk through compliant, student-centered approaches to educating graduate students. Attendees will learn how to provide transparent, neutral information, connect students to vetted resources, and support informed borrowing decisions—without endorsing specific lenders or crossing compliance lines. Additionally, Juno will provide an overview of their newly released hub of degree-specific financial education resources.

About Juno

We started Juno in 2018 with a simple question: could collective bargaining help our classmates pay less for private student loans? Since then, we’ve focused on three things—lower prices for students, wider eligibility for students without cosigners, and full respect for financial aid offices.

Juno has organized the buying power of admitted and current students to negotiate lower private loan offers—at no cost to schools or students. Students simply join a waitlist, Juno secures volume‑based discounts that are typically better than going direct, and students can check rates with no impact to their credit. We also provide 1:1 advising to thousands of students each year, helping them compare options with confidence. 

• To-date, Juno has helped 230,000+ students and families access over $1B in funding at the lowest rates available.
• In 2025, we estimate 14–15% of all private in‑school graduate lending flowed through Juno; we’re already the go‑to option for thousands of Undergraduate, MBA, and JD students annually. 
• In 2026, we seek to help future doctors, dentists, nurses, pharmacists, and all other students access lower-cost funding to complete their degrees.
