As college costs rise and federal financial aid rules shift dramatically, the students who most need support are facing new barriers to access and success. Tighter loan limits, program-level eligibility rules, and revised Pell Grant criteria will directly affect who can enroll, what they can afford, and whether they complete their education.

For governing boards, the implications are clear: decisions made in Washington will soon show up in your classrooms and on your balance sheets. Boards must be ready to ask the right questions, monitor emerging risks, and ensure that student success remains at the heart of institutional strategy.

This timely webinar will help board members understand the real-world consequences of recent financial aid changes and how to lead in response.

Participants will learn how to:

Assess how changes to student aid will impact your students’ ability to enroll and persist
Understand which academic programs may be vulnerable under new funding rules
Center student equity, affordability, and support in board-level discussions
Guide institutional leaders in adapting enrollment and support strategies
Strengthen your board’s role as a champion for mission, access, and student well-being

This is not business as usual. Join us to equip your board for informed, student-centered leadership in this new environment.
