Let’s talk about the part that hits the hardest: the COST.
Nursing school can cost $89,000 to over $211,000.
Physical therapy? Similar.
Social work? Education? Allied health? All expensive, all essential.
But now under the administration’s new bill these programs are no longer considered “professional degrees.”
Borrowing is capped at $100,000.
Grad PLUS loans are gone.
Students will be forced into private loans or forced out of education entirely.
Meanwhile, degrees in medicine, dentistry, law, pharmacy, and even theology still qualify for the full $200,000 borrowing limit.
Let’s be honest:
If you’re not wealthy, if you’re first-generation, if you don’t have a co-signer with excellent credit…
This bill shuts the door on entering nursing, PT, social work, education, and other women-dominated professions.
This is not politics this is about access, equity, and the future of patient care in America.
I broke down the full cost analysis and the real-world impact on my Substack.
