The Exchange Live: Leadership Edition - Life After Grad PLUS: What the New Financial Aid Reality Means for Graduate Enrollment
Tuesday, October 13, 2026, 2:00 PM - 3:00 PM EDT
Category: Webinar
Graduate enrollment leaders spent the last year preparing for the end of Grad PLUS. As of July 1, the new rules are in effect: federal loan caps, fewer repayment options, prorated borrowing for part-time students, and an unsettled definition of which programs count as "professional." Add ongoing litigation and a cautious private loan market, and the financing landscape looks very different from the one most graduate pricing and recruitment strategies were built around.
Three graduate financial aid leaders from three very different institutions will join Keith Ramsdell and Marcus Hanscom to cover what actually changed, what it is doing to students, yield, and enrollment this fall, and what institutions can do about it, from closing financing gaps to rethinking pricing and how enrollment, marketing, and aid teams work together.
Panelists
- Kathy Anderson, Associate Vice President of Student Financial Services, Berklee College of Music
- Beck Gusler, Executive Director of Student Financial Services Compliance and Operations, Wentworth Institute of Technology
- Alisha McReynolds, Director of Student Financial Services, University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences College of Medicine

Bring your toughest financing questions. This is a conversation, not a lecture.
