Proposed PA Student Loan Caps

Please see below from the AAPA regarding the proposed cap on PA student loans.

"The U.S. Department of Education [recently] concluded its negotiated rulemaking session, where federal negotiators agreed to a definition of “professional program” that excludes PAs from eligibility for higher federal student loan borrowing. PA school is more expensive than the proposed cap – meaning that without access to sufficient federal loans, many students won’t have the means to complete their education. 

If finalized as currently written, this rule would take effect by July 2026, impacting future PA students’ ability to access the loans they need as soon as the next academic cycle."
