Dear Colleague:
We are pleased to announce the release of an online, self-paced training course that offers an overview of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (P.L. 119-21) (OBBBA) as it relates to the federal student aid programs. The course covers current requirements and explains how the new law affects those requirements.
The course includes four lessons on the following topics:
-
Student Eligibility
-
Loan Origination and Disbursement
-
Loan Repayment and Servicing
-
School Eligibility and Accountability
The course also provides a brief recap of the negotiated rulemaking process and timeline. Please note that while we are drafting Notices of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRMs), we are unable to provide training about the proposed rules. After we publish proposed and final regulations in 2026, we will notify you when additional training is available. In the meantime, please monitor the Negotiated Rulemaking for Higher Education 2025 website for updates.
To access the OBBBA Overview training course, visit the FSA Training Center and select Legislative Updates on the home page.
If you have any questions about the course or have any other training needs, email helpdesk.fsatraining@ed.gov.
Sincerely,
Federal Student Aid
