Vet and Medical Students Face Loan Disbursement Delays as OBBBA Rollout Stalls Aid

About this episode

The episode discusses the financial aid delays faced by graduate students due to the rollout of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act.

Over the past several weeks we've heard multiple reports from graduate students about financial aid delays and miscommunication as they start summer classes. For medical, dental, and veterinary schools that start as early as May, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) changes are causing delays and chaos. One student reported that they received an inaccurate notice claiming they hit the updated graduate borrowing limits , while another was experiencing delayed loan disbursements . The result is fear, uncertainty, and in the case of delayed disbursements, true financial risk as many graduate students rely on their student loans to pay rent, buy food, and more. Here's what's happening.
