The Federal Student Aid (FSA) training conference in Washington, D.C., kicked off its first session on Wednesday, marking its first in-person convening since 2019. The first day’s session covered a range of topics, including: loan changes made through the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA); school eligibility changes; and updates on FAFSA processing. While this year’s conference is being conducted in person, virtual recordings from the week’s sessions are expected to be made available within the next week or so, per guidance from the Department of Education (ED).

The "Off The Cuff," team will be back with a new episode featuring our AskRegs Experts next week to debrief the Federal Student Aid (FSA) training conference. In the meantime, catch up on our most recent recordings with the latest news in higher education, including resources for implementation of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) and much more! Be sure to subscribe to our Apple Podcasts or Spotify channel to stay up to date on our latest episodes.
