Join us for a session exploring the Trump Administration’s One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA), a sweeping overhaul of federal higher education and Medicaid policy. This session will examine how the bill defines “graduate” versus “professional” degree programs, changes to student financial aid, and increased institutional accountability. We will also explain the bill’s implications for Medicaid, including new eligibility requirements, updated funding structures, and increased administrative oversight. Participants will gain a clear understanding of how these changes signal a broader policy shift under the current administration and how they will impact students and institutions.
Learning Objectives:
Describe key provisions of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act as they relate to higher education and Medicaid policy.
Explain the differences between current regulations and new regulations established by the One Big Beautiful Bill.
Identify potential implications of the One Big Beautiful Bill for institutions of higher education and students.
