Two healthcare groups are suing President Donald Trump’s Education Department over its upcoming changes to federal student loans for graduate students.
Starting July 1, federal student loans for new graduate students will be capped annually at $20,500, with an overall limit of $100,000. Graduate students in programs designated as “professional” will have a higher annual limit of $50,000 and a total limit of $200,000. That “professional” designation only applies to a handful of fields, including law, medicine and dentistry.
