Last July, President Donald Trump signed the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, which included several changes to federal student aid. These changes will take effect July 1, 2026.⁠ ⁠ Two months before the bill is supposed to take effect, Central Michigan University Director of Scholarships and Financial Aid, Sarah Kasabian-Larson said, the Department of Education has still not made a final decision and has stated projections are subject to change.⁠ ⁠ “As financial aid administrators, people that have to put into place these regulations, it’s quite stressful to not have the final rules yet because…we’re two months away from July 1," Kasabian-Larson said. ⁠ ⁠ She said the Department of Education is telling university officials that a final decision will not be announced until late spring. ⁠ ⁠ Click the link in the bio to read more⁠ ⁠ ✍️Grace Walker 📸Mark Hoover⁠ ⁠ #studentjournalism #cmlife #lifeatcentral #cmu #financialaid
