A federal judge blocks part of a Trump administration rule that had lowered federal student loan caps for some graduate students. Multiple outlets report that the ruling restores eligibility for higher federal loan limits for students pursuing graduate degrees in nursing and other health-related fields, including physical therapy. The changes are described as taking effect “for now,” indicating the decision is not necessarily permanent while legal challenges and further rulemaking proceed. In addition to nursing and physical therapy, the judge’s order covers several other graduate program areas listed in the reporting. One outlet also notes a related update: theology is no longer included under the “professional” designation after the ruling. Overall, the reports agree that the court decision prevents the lower caps from being applied to affected graduate borrowers, allowing them to take out larger amounts under existing federal student loan rules while the broader dispute over the administration’s categorization remains unresolved.
