🚨Nearly 1 million borrowers have already left the defunct SAVE Plan.
If you're still in the SAVE Plan, you can take action today. Head to StudentAid.gov, leave SAVE behind, and choose a lawful repayment plan that keeps you moving forward.

“Universities must recognize that, at its core, the affordability crisis is an administrative overhead crisis. You cannot freeze tuition if you continue to expand layers of bureaucratic red tape that add zero value to students’ education.”

Thanks to President Trump’s leadership, we are delivering the most decisive realignment of higher education in a generation.
Universities like @ASU are proof that affordable, accessible pathways are possible, no matter the opportunity a student chooses to pursue.
Behind every financial aid package is a professional working to help students achieve their educational goals.
On Financial Aid Administrators Day, we recognize the invaluable work of financial aid administrators who support access, opportunity, and student success every day!
It was an energizing day visiting @GeorgiaTech and seeing how the institution connects academics with hands-on learning. Through initiatives like CREATE-X, students gain the tools, experience, and confidence to turn innovative ideas into entrepreneurial opportunities.

Don’t wait! Enroll in auto pay by December 31st to receive a 1% interest rate reduction on your student loans!
I couldn't come to Atlanta without seeing @SonnyPerdue, who has devoted so much of his life to improving the the lives of Georgians. As he wraps up his tenure as Chancellor of @BORUSG, he leaves public higher education in the state stronger than ever. Congratulations, Sonny, on a remarkable career of public service!
Exciting visit to Athens Technical College yesterday! Impressed by the hands-on training opportunities for students, from the HVAC program to the dental lab.
These programs are preparing Georgia’s workforce with the skills needed for in-demand careers.

Leave it to @AOC to make an economic argument about ‘sexism.’
She was a bartender, so let’s settle the tab.
The Trump Administration is holding colleges accountable for leaving students worse off than if they never enrolled. Too many graduates report delaying major life milestones like buying a home because low return-on-investment programs saddled them with unmanageable debt that was never going to translate into a real-world job.
AOC is parroting the “free college” fantasy which would shift $3 TRILLION onto hardworking American taxpayers – including women.
We are ending the days of subsidizing unlimited loans because they only made universities rich and left students and families with the bill.
Under @EDSecMcMahon's leadership, @usedgov is the vanguard of the fight against fraud:
💰$2+ billion saved since January 2025.
🪪Instant verification for FAFSA.
💻Real-time data with partner agencies.
Proud to sign @VP's pledge to ensure American benefits stay out of the hands of fraudsters!
I am proud to sign @VP's pledge and join @POTUS and @WHFraudTF in the fight against fraud, waste, and abuse.
At @usedgov we have prevented more than $2 billion in student aid fraud and implemented real-time verification measures to protect taxpayer dollars.
Every dollar lost to fraud is a dollar taken away from a student trying to build a better future.
A highlight of my visit to @USC was engaging with informed student leaders about how the Trump Administration is working tirelessly to lower the cost of higher education and ensure every program, from a certificate in pipefitting to a Ph.D. in philosophy, is held accountable for its return on investment.
Always an honor to visit our Senior Military Colleges. Yesterday at @Citadel1842, I met with college leadership, shared lunch with cadets in the mess hall, toured the barracks, and observed drill. Encouraging to see the next generation of principled leaders being prepared to serve.
A beautiful fall day @DenisonU yesterday discussing intellectual diversity, workforce development, and Super Intelligence. Preparing students to think critically, engage across differences, and thrive in a changing economy is essential to their success!
Since day one, @POTUS and @EDSecMcMahon have tackled fraud, waste, and abuse across our higher education programs. We are proud to stand with @OhioAuditor to hold fraudsters accountable!

Today, Auditor of State Keith Faber was joined by U.S. Under Secretary of Education Nicholas Kent at the Ohio Statehouse to announce indictments against three individuals in the alleged theft of about $20 million from the now-defunct Eastern Gateway Community College.
Thank you to @AdrianCollege for a terrific visit! The college has embraced @EDSecMcMahon's call to action and is expanding workforce-based programs to bolster student success. Higher education is strongest when students are exposed to a broad range of ideas and perspectives!
Spent time at @BradleyTechMPS this week, seeing firsthand how this public high school in Milwaukee is preparing students for the future through pathways in advanced manufacturing, construction, and IT. Students earn college credit while gaining real world skills, graduating ready to pursue postsecondary education or step directly into the workforce.

Got to visit @UWMadison’s Dairy Cattle Center this week — a unique working dairy farm right in the middle of a university campus. I enjoyed learning how the Center supports teaching, research, and the community, then grabbed some ice cream while chatting with students.
