About this listen

In this episode of the College! podcast, hosts Matt Carpenter and Peg Keough unpack major proposed changes impacting college affordability and financial aid in 2025.

They explore the potential endowment tax increase from 1.4% to 21%, new rules that could revoke colleges' nonprofit status, and the controversial plan to require cost of attendance by academic program. Plus, they break down how new Pell Grant eligibility rules could hurt low-income, part-time, and neurodiverse students. If you're a parent, counselor, or college-bound family concerned about rising college costs, financial aid changes, and education policy, this is a must-listen episode.
