Raise Your Voice to Save Grad PLUS Loans!

Congress is considering harmful proposals in its budget reconciliation bill, including the elimination of the Grad PLUS Loan Program, a $200,000 cap on federal loans per borrower and the introduction of new risk-sharing payments, all of which put medical student financial aid under threat.

Grad PLUS loans are essential for making OME accessible, allowing students to borrow up to the full cost of their education without caps. Eliminating this program would make it harder for future doctors to afford medical school, reduce diversity in the physician workforce and worsen the physician shortage—especially in rural and underserved communities. At a time when our nation faces a growing physician shortage, it is critical that we do not impose unnecessary barriers on future physicians.

With more than 5,000 messages already sent to Congress, the osteopathic voice is being heard! Keep the momentum going and urge Congress to protect Grad PLUS loans, oppose federal borrowing caps and prevent harmful risk-sharing measures that could limit access to medical education.
