FAFSA 2026 & Beauty School: Reading Federal Warnings, Asking the Right Questions

The 2026–2027 FAFSA cycle marks a major shift in vocational education accountability. With the full enforcement of Financial Value Transparency (FVT), Gainful Employment (GE), the transition toward the Student Tuition and Transparency System (STATS), and structural changes under the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA), students pursuing cosmetology, esthetics, nail technology, and barbering must now navigate a more data-driven financial aid landscape. In this research-based episode, we break down: • What the new “Lower Earnings” FAFSA warning means • How the Earnings Premium test impacts career programs • Changes to federal borrowing limits in 2026 • The Repayment Assistance Plan (RAP) and the $10 minimum payment rule • Questions students should respectfully ask their school director • How to build an “Academic Security File” to protect your hours and progress • Differences between licensure authority and accreditation • Strategies for responsible borrowing and informed decision-making This episode is designed as a financial literacy and regulatory awareness guide — not as legal or financial advice — to help students approach beauty education as both a creative pursuit and a structured investment decision. In a federal environment increasingly focused on earnings outcomes and transparency, informed students are empowered students. Research & Podcast Series 2026 Louisville Beauty Academy
