Spring NEGAP Roundtable: OB3 and Impacts on Graduate Enrollment

    Thursday, February 19, 2026 at 1:00 PM until 2:00 PMEastern Standard Time UTC -05:00

    NEGAP will host a member roundtable to create an open, collegial space for candid conversation about how the One Big Beautiful Bill (OB3) is expected to affect—and continue to impact—graduate enrollment in 2026. Participants will share early data points, institutional concerns, and emerging strategies related to affordability, financial aid uncertainty, applicant behavior, and enrollment forecasting. The discussion will highlight the value of peer-to-peer exchange as institutions navigate policy-driven challenges together and adapt enrollment practices in a rapidly shifting landscape.

    Facilitated by

    Lauren Finn, NEGAP Vice President and Director of Admission, MGH Institute of Health Professions

    Whitney Kolwicz, NEGAP Secretary and Director of Graduate Admissions & Recruitment, Sacred Heart University
