Judge Blocks Loan Limits for Nursing Students | Vancouver News

A major legal win for grad students in nursing and physical therapy keeps their higher loan limits intact for now, after a judge blocked federal education rules that would’ve slashed funding for these high-cost programs. The Education Department scrambled with a temporary fix while still pushing to reinstate its original “professional” definition — which initially excluded nursing — arguing it’s legally sound. But the fallout? Some programs, like theology degrees, are now being reclassified as non-professional, slashing loan caps — even as divinity degrees for pastors remain protected. The department insists its rule will prevail in court, but students face shifting caps until the case is resolved.
