Summary
A federal judge blocked part of a Trump administration rule that would have limited federal student loan amounts for graduate students in nursing, physical therapy, and other health-related fields. The U.S. Education Department issued a revised rule to comply with the court order, allowing these students to access higher loan limits temporarily while the agency fights in court to reinstate the original rule. The original rule defined medicine, law, and other fields as "professional programs" eligible for higher loan caps but excluded nursing and other disciplines, prompting lawsuits from affected groups.

· 3 pulledStudents pursuing graduate degrees in nursing, physical therapy and several other fields will be eligible to take out higher federal student loan amounts — at least for now — after a federal judge blocked part of a Trump administration rule that held them to lower limits.
The U.S. Education Department issued a revised rule on Monday designed to follow the judge's order from last week, officials told The Associated Press.
Agency officials called it a temporary change while they fight in court to keep the original rule, which defined medicine, law and other fields as 'professional programs' but excluded nursing and others.
