Revised rule takes effect
The temporary rule becomes effective, raising the federal loan cap for thousands of graduate students in nursing and allied health to $200,000, while theology students face new, lower limits, pending further litigation.
Federal judge blocks exclusion
Last week, a federal judge issues an order blocking the Department of Education's exclusion of nursing and similar fields from the professional loan category, requiring them to be treated as professional while litigation proceeds.
Trump tax bill enacted
President Trump signs tax bill overhauling federal student loans, creating a $200,000 cap for 'professional' programs and a $100,000 cap for other graduate programs, with an initial rule that excludes nursing, physical therapy, and some other fields from the professional designation.
The court-ordered temporary boost in federal loan limits for graduate nursing and physical therapy programs could help alleviate student debt barriers and attract more clinicians. However, healthcare systems and educators worry about long-term debt burdens and the policy's instability.
For online graduate platforms and universities, the court-ordered reclassification of nursing as a professional program temporarily raises the federal loan cap from $100K to $200K, potentially boosting enrollment and tuition budgets. However, the ongoing legal battle creates financial planning headwinds for institutions and edtech service providers.
