As part of the Big Beautiful Bill, the Department of Education quietly removed nursing, PT, OT, SLPs, PAs, and Social Work from the “professional degree” category.
What does this mean?
➡️ Lower borrowing limits
➡️ Loss of Grad PLUS loans
➡️ Fewer students able to afford training

Trust me when I say:
Patients will feel this.
Healthcare professionals will feel this.
This deserves every bit of attention.
