U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland. The suit challenges a new federal student loan rule that limits borrowing access for students in healthcare-related professional degree programs.

According to the complaint, Congress intended the higher loan caps to apply broadly to licensed professional programs. The states argue the rule conflicts with that intent and will reduce access to financing for students pursuing healthcare degrees. The filing marks the latest legal challenge to federal student aid policy under the Trump administration.
