MINDSTREAM Federal Funding Risk Assessment Tool
A 3-minute self-assessment

How exposed is your institution to the 2026 federal shifts?

Fifteen questions across the five pressures now reshaping finance and compliance. Answer honestly and you'll leave with a personalized one-page exposure profile you can download and share with your cabinet.

15 questions~3 minutesDownloadable 1-page profile

What we'll assess

  • Title III exposure — how dependent your budget is on federal institutional funding.
  • Earnings accountability — readiness for the new STATS earnings-premium framework.
  • Pell sensitivity — enrollment and revenue reliance under the new eligibility rules.
  • Parent PLUS exposure — impact of the borrowing caps now in effect.
  • DEI restriction compliance — where race-conscious programs meet current Title VI enforcement.

Book a 30-minute discovery conversation with Joseph Garcia. We'll walk through your highest-exposure areas and where to move first.

This exposure index reflects the 2026 federal landscape, including the reconciliation law's Parent PLUS caps and Pell changes, the Department of Education's STATS earnings-accountability framework, and current Title VI enforcement posture. Scores are directional and based on self-reported inputs; they are not legal, financial, or accreditation advice. For institution-specific guidance, consult qualified counsel and your financial team.
