What this bill would do

This bill, known as the ``Restoring Opportunity for Advanced Education Act,'' aims to amend the Higher Education Act of 1965. The primary purpose is to terminate existing Federal student loan limits. Additionally, the legislation seeks to restore the availability of Federal Direct PLUS Loans specifically for graduate and professional students. This involves making several technical changes to the existing law.
