H.R. 6677, introduced in December 2025, seeks to reverse recent federal cuts to student loan availability for graduate and professional degree students. The bill amends the Higher Education Act of 1965 to restore loan limits that were reduced under a previous law (Public Law 119-21), making more federal borrowing available to students pursuing advanced degrees like law, medicine, and master's programs. The legislation primarily affects graduate and professional students who have faced constraints on how much they can borrow for their education. While the bill text provided does not specify a particular funding amount or implementation timeline beyond references to loans issued after July 2012, it represents an effort to reverse recent policy changes that limited access to federal student loans for advanced degree holders.
