Public health is at risk—and it starts with student aid. 🚨
New federal rules tied to H.R. 1 could slash loan limits for MPH and DrPH students, putting UC Berkeley Public Health—and other top programs—out of reach for many.

Capping loans at $20,500/year threatens our pipeline of diverse, future health leaders—just when we need them most for health equity and pandemic preparedness.

UCAN is pushing Congress to pass H.R. 6718, the Professional Student Degree Act.
