Goodbye Grad Plus, Hello Juno: Helping More Borrowers with Lower Rates

Federal lending changes are creating an unprecedented market shift for graduate students. Students will increasingly need transparent, competitive private options—exactly what Juno provides. Join Chris, one of Juno’s founders, in a discussion about how Juno has helped thousands of graduate students access lower private loan rates with wider eligibility since 2018.

Key topics we will cover include:

• Overview of Federal changes impacting graduate students in 2026
• Context on today’s private lender eligibility criteria and how that impacts students’ ability to access funding beyond new Federal limits
• Introduction to how Juno creates more competition amongst private lenders to help students access lower rates while expanding eligibility
• Examples of how thousands of MBA, JD, and other graduate students have used Juno to find the lowest rates available on private student loans
• Introduction to educational materials, calculators, and 1-on-1 support that Juno provides to all students

Juno’s goal is not to circumvent existing financial aid processes. It is to make comparison shopping easier, including checking personalized rates with a soft inquiry that doesn’t affect credit scores. Some of your students already use Juno; others may explore it in the future. Either way, we’re here to support your work and answer questions candidly. 

If you’re curious how it works—and how to share it neutrally with students—join our short webinar.
