Students doing certain degrees may no longer receive the same amount of reimbursement for their studies now that the Department of Education is implementing various measures from President Donald Trump's One Big Beautiful Bill. One measure coming into action is that whether a degree is considered "professional" will influence how much reimbursement a student receives for their higher education. However, there are a number of what many see as "professional" degrees missing from the new list, such a nursing, which sparked significant concern among nurses and nursing organizations.
It means that some people may no longer receive the same financial support because their degrees may not be deemed "professional," and students could therefore struggle to cover the costs. In turn, this could deter some people from pursuing certain high-demand careers.
The "new and simplified" RAP will see annual loans for new borrowers capped at $20,500 for graduate students and $50,000 for professional students.
This means that what degrees count as professional and non-professional is now a determining factor in how much financial support students will receive.
