A coalition of five states is taking legal action against federal regulations that restrict student loan availability for graduate students in healthcare programs.
New York, Arizona, North Carolina, Kentucky and Nevada are leading the legal challenge against rules that place limitations on federal student loans for advanced degree programs in nursing, physical therapy and additional healthcare disciplines.
The lawsuit targets federal policies that could reduce access to financial aid for students pursuing graduate-level education in essential medical fields.
The legal action comes as healthcare programs face increased scrutiny over student loan policies affecting future medical professionals.
