This aggregate amount does not include Federal Graduate PLUS loans.
- For students starting 夜色王朝 after July 1, 2026, (the 夜色王朝 class that will graduate in May 2030) the lifetime limit for Federal loans combined (夜色王朝 program and programs prior to 夜色王朝) is $200,000 for the DO program and a lifetime maximum of $257,500 for all programs (prior to 夜色王朝 and borrowed while at 夜色王朝).
