New Student Loan Caps Shake Up Graduate Education | Madison News

Federal student loan limits just got a major overhaul, slamming brakes on borrowing for grad and professional students—especially in pricey fields like med, law, and dentistry. Annual caps now cap med school loans at $50K and lifetime at $200K, while other grads face lower ceilings. Supporters say it’ll force schools to cut tuition, but critics fear it’ll block access for low-income and minority students, deepening shortages in healthcare. Meanwhile, 3.5 million Americans lost SNAP benefits amid Trump-era policy shifts. Experts urge students to audit aid packages now—before financial shortfalls derail dreams.
