A recent federal judge's ruling has impacted student loan eligibility for certain graduate degree programs. Students in fields such as nursing and physical therapy may now be eligible for higher federal student loan amounts. This change comes after the judge blocked part of a rule implemented by the Trump administration, which had previously limited loan amounts for these programs.

The ruling may have implications for students in Piney Point Village and surrounding areas who are pursuing graduate degrees in these fields. S. Education Department and other sources, including KPRC 2 and Click2Houston.
