Big changes are coming to federal student loans and they could impact how students and families pay for college.

Starting July 1, 2026:
• New Graduate students will be limited to $20,500 per year in federal loans
• Most grad students will have a $100,000 lifetime borrowing cap
• Federal Grad PLUS loans (which used to help cover remaining costs) will no longer be available to new graduate students

That means for many families, federal loans may not fully cover the cost of attendance anymore.

So what happens if there’s a gap?

That’s where planning and knowing your options matters.

With RISLA, eligible borrowers can borrow up to the full cost of education, helping bridge the gap when federal aid falls short.

Because paying for college shouldn’t feel like trying to fit your plans into someone else’s limits.

You’ve moved on from college… but your student loan rate might still be stuck in the past 👀

If your financial situation has changed since you first borrowed, refinancing could be worth a look. It may help you lower your interest rate, reduce your monthly payment, or both.

Thinking about student loans? Here’s something a lot of borrowers wish they knew sooner 💭

A cosigner can play a big role in getting approved for a student loan and may even help you qualify for a better interest rate.

But it’s not just a formality. A cosigner is taking on real responsibility, too. That means both people are accountable for repayment, and it’s important to be on the same page from the start.

Having that conversation early can make all the difference.

RISLA offers student loan options with guidance to help families understand their choices and borrow responsibly.

How much is too much when it comes to student loans? 🤔

A simple guideline: try to keep your total borrowing at or below what you expect to earn in your first year after college.

Why it matters:
✔️ Helps keep monthly payments manageable
✔️ Reduces long-term financial stress
✔️ Sets you up for more flexibility after graduation

Every situation is different, but having a plan makes all the difference.

If you’re exploring ways to responsibly cover the gap, RISLA offers student loan options designed to help families borrow smarter 💙
