Student Loan Caps

On May 19, 2026, a coalition of 23 attorneys general filed a lawsuit in Maryland against the U.S. Department of Education over a new rule that unlawfully limits access to federal student loans for students pursuing professional degree programs in health care and other critical workforce fields. The coalition argues that the rule unlawfully excludes many degree programs that qualify under the standards established by federal law, potentially reducing access to financial aid for students pursuing advanced education.
