"The student loan landscape will shift dramatically in 2026, and while many details are still being hammered out in rulemaking negotiations — or are being actively litigated in court — the broad outlines are becoming clearer for both current and future borrowers," Nerdwallet reports.
..."Sarah Austin, policy analyst for the National Association of Student Financial Aid Administrators (NASFAA), says there's a lot changing.
While the broad outlines are clear, Austin says, 'we do still have a lot of unanswered questions in more of the logistical, implementation side of things. And that's where we are right now, in the midst of several negotiated rulemaking sessions with the Department of Education to kind of iron out all of those details.'"
