Summary
Based on the bill's title, this legislation would amend the Higher Education Act to exempt theology, religious vocations, and philosophy/religious studies programs at religiously-affiliated institutions from federal eligibility restrictions tied to student loan repayment outcomes. Specifically, these programs would not lose access to federal student aid (Title IV assistance) based on low earnings metrics, even if other programs at the same institution might face such restrictions. The bill applies only to institutions that already qualify for religious exemptions under Title IX of education law.
