A coalition of nursing and other health care organizations are pushing back against a Trump administration plan that could limit access to student loans in some cases. Students pursuing graduate degrees in nursing, physical therapy and some other fields would face tighter federal student loan limits under the plan because it doesn’t consider them professional programs. The revamp is part of an overhaul passed by Congress in Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill.” Under current rules, graduate students can borrow loans up to the cost of their degree. But the new rules would set caps depending on whether the degree is considered a graduate or professional program. The Trump administration believes the changes could reduce tuition costs.
