**Expanded transparency of program- and institution-level student earnings and loan outcomes.** This bill would require the Education Department to expand and annually update the College Scorecard to show program-level and institution-level data for every program eligible for federal student aid. - Students and families would see program-level metrics, including median annual earnings for the cohort enrolled 10 years earlier and measures of default and repayment. This helps compare likely long-term earnings across certificates, undergraduate, graduate, and professional programs. - Borrowers and parents would get median Federal Direct Stafford, Graduate PLUS, and Parent PLUS loan balances at repayment for program completers and default and repayment rates tied to those loans. That makes debt burdens more visible. - Colleges and programs would be listed with institution-level cohort default and repayment rates plus Graduate PLUS and Parent PLUS default and repayment rates. This creates a clearer picture of program and institutional loan performance. - Policymakers, researchers, and consumers would gain annually updated data on debt, default, and repayment dynamics to inform choices and oversight.
