Federal Policy Update: March, 2026

A projected $17 billion shortfall in the Pell Grant program is putting federal student aid—and institutional planning—under increasing pressure. AGB's Joe Brenckle and Penn Hill Group's Alex Nock discuss what's driving the gap, how Congress may respond, and why timing matters in an election year. They also cover new accreditation rulemaking and what to watch for in the president's upcoming budget, offering key insights for boards tracking federal policy developments. Opinions expressed in AGB podcasts are those of the speakers and not necessarily those of the organizations that employ them or of AGB.
