Additional Guidance
Review the latest federal updates impacting financial aid.
The One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OB3) was signed into law on July 4, 2025. Beginning July 1, 2026, the law introduces significant changes to federal student aid programs, including updates to borrowing limits, loan types and repayment options, among other provisions. We will continue updating our website as new federal guidance is released. For the most current information, visit the Federal Student Aid website.
Can I qualify for additional aid if I am experiencing income loss due to COVID-19?
If you experience income loss, such as a job change or job loss due to COVID-19, contact the Division of Financial Aid to see if a special circumstance appeal is a possibility. A financial aid counselor will use the information that you provide to see if processing an appeal may change the student’s aid. Please note that you must be out of work or experiencing an income loss for at least 8 weeks for us to be able to consider it a special circumstance.
Are there COVID-19 related benefits for federal student loan borrowers?
Current borrowers or borrowers in repayment should refer to the Federal Student Aid website for information.
What happens if my study abroad program is canceled?
Students should check with Purdue Study Abroad for any updates on programs.
