He chose an in-state college with existing federal loan programs so he could afford to go straight to medical school after college.\n    <\/p><p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/relocationtimess.com\/?p=4701\">The 9 Senate seats most likely to flip in 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\n            He graduated from Stony Brook University in New York in May, and now he\u2019s not so sure his plans will work out.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            President Donald Trump\u2019s sweeping tax and spending cuts package, known as the \u201cbig beautiful bill,\u201d is changing the way aspiring doctors like Jiang can finance their education.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            Starting this week, there is a cap on federal loans for professional programs such as medical, dental and law school. It limits federal loans to $50,000 per year, with a total limit of $200,000. It also eliminates Grad PLUS, a program that lets students borrow the full cost of attendance, regardless of credit. The Trump administration claims that loan caps will drive down graduate school costs.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            Under these new federal loan caps, Jiang says, he will probably have to work for more than two years after college to afford medical school. If he finds stable work during those gap years, he said, he may not return to medicine.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            \u201cIt\u2019s very jarring to me that money has become this important in my decision to become a doctor,\u201d said Jiang, a psychology major from New York.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            According to the Association of American Medical Colleges, the median four-year cost of attendance for the class of 2026 was $297,745 for public schools and $408,150 for private schools.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            The association says that almost half of students seeking an M.D. rely on Grad PLUS, and they borrow more than $1 billion via the program annually.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            Trump\u2019s tax and spending cuts package, which was passed by Congress in summer 2025, \u201cfundamentally changes the medical school financing landscape for aspiring physicians,\u201d said Kristen Earle, the program leader for student financial aid services at the Association of American Medical Colleges.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            There\u2019s concern too that it could make med school less accessible and exacerbate an existing physician shortage. In 2024, the Health Resources and Services Administration  of 87,150 primary care physicians by 2037.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            \u201cIn the wake of this policy change, many future physicians will find themselves in a worse financial position and may be disincentivized from pursuing fields they are passionate about \u2014 such as primary care \u2014 where salaries are lower,\u201d said Nikitha Balaji, national president of the American Medical Student Association.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            Some college students are already reconsidering their plans to go to medical school. They\u2019re turning to private loans, planning to take take additional gap years \u2014 or thinking about changing careers paths entirely.\n    <\/p>\n<div>\n<header>\n<span>\n      Related article\n    <\/span>\n<\/header>\n<section>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Nurse helping woman use walker in hospital hallway - stock photo\" class=\"wp-image-4707\" height=\"144\" src=\"https:\/\/relocationtimess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/174ab6392c1355f866b14339a5bca492.jpg\" width=\"256\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<span>Nurse helping woman use walker in hospital hallway &#8211; stock photo<\/span>\n<\/div>\n<figcaption>Blend Images &#8211; JGI\/Tom Grill\/Tetra images RF\/Getty Images<\/figcaption>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>\n<span>Concern grows around US health-care workforce shortage: \u2018We don\u2019t have enough doctors\u2019<\/span>\n<\/p>\n<div>5  min read<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<h2>\n        Aiming for lower cost education\n<\/h2>\n<p>\n            The Trump administration says that enforcing loan caps will force graduate schools to reduce tuition costs.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            In a May congressional hearing on Department of Education priorities, Secretary Linda McMahon said that with loan caps in place, schools will \u201chave fewer applicants coming into their universities\u201d and when \u201cthey realize part of the reason is because the cost is too high, they will lower those costs.\u201d\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            Louisiana Republican Sen. Bill Cassidy, a physician and the chairman of the Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions Committee, also said he believes that capping loans and eliminating the Grad PLUS program would ultimately lower costs for students.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            \u201cThe increasing availability of federal loans has resulted in skyrocketing tuition prices, trapping students in a cycle of overwhelming debt that they can\u2019t pay back,\u201d said Cassidy, who attended Louisiana State University for medical school. \u201cBy capping inflationary graduate loan programs, we prevent students from overborrowing and put downward pressure on rising college costs.\u201d\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            The Association of American Medical Colleges says that rising medical school tuition costs are not causally associated with accessible loan programs. After the introduction of the Grad PLUS program in 2006, tuition at medical schools increased at a slower rate than in prior years. According to the association, the primary driver of increases in med school costs in recent years has been the rising cost of living, not tuition.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            The Grad PLUS loan program was a topic at the Senate HELP Committee\u2019s May 2025 , including a 2023 paper that found the program led to significantly higher graduate program prices.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            But Leslie Turner, associate professor at the University of Chicago Harris School of Public Policy and one of the authors of the paper, said that\u2019s not the whole story. Eliminating generous federal loans may not reduce costs for students, she said.\n    <\/p>\n<div>\n<header>\n<span>\n      Related article\n    <\/span>\n<\/header>\n<section>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Former mayor of New York Michael Bloomberg speaks during the Earthshot Prize Innovation Summit in New York, U.S., September 19, 2023.

Institutions could provide more grants and scholarships to make up for the difference, but she said she wouldn\u2019t count on it.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            Turner added that, based on data from 2001 to 2022, public medical school tuition costs are rising at a greater rate than at private medical schools. Decline in state funding for public education systems could lead these schools to rely more on tuition revenue. Providing additional funding to public institutions could be one policy that could lower costs for students.\n    <\/p><p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/relocationtimess.com\/?p=4679\">Takeaways from a divisive Supreme Court term that expanded Trump\u2019s power<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\n            \u201cGiven the current state of higher education finance, the cuts to federal funding, the restrictions on international student visas, the overall uncertainty, it\u2019s unlikely institutions will have the capacity to increase financial aid given to students,\u201d Turner said. \u201cI think most schools would like to continue the current generosity of their programs, but it\u2019s just a very precarious financial situation across the higher ed landscape.\u201d\n    <\/p>\n<h2>\n        A potential solution, but not for all\n<\/h2>\n<p>\n            Private loans could be a solution for med students who can\u2019t borrow what\u2019s needed, but they often carry higher interest rates, offer limited repayment flexibility and have few forgiveness options. They may require co-signers and offer no income-driven repayment, leaving students with massive, inflexible debt.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            Jadyn Sinclair was admitted to Brown University\u2019s Program in Liberal Medical Education and committed last year to enroll in medical school in 2029.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            She estimates that medical school will cost her $400,000 over four years. Until recently, she expected to pay that back once she became an attending physician. But if $200,000 is no longer covered by federal loans, she said, she\u2019ll have to rely on private loans.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            Sinclair said she feels betrayed, having committed under a \u201ccompletely different circumstance.\u201d\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            \u201cIf I\u2019d known this would happen, I may not have committed to med school at this point,\u201d Sinclair said.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            Many students may not be able to access private loans, either. The availability of private student loans has shrunk significantly in the past 20 years, Turner said, and it never really bounced back after the end of the Great Recession.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            \u201cPrivate lenders look at the applicant\u2019s credit history, their credit score, and may decide to not even extend an offer of loan to individuals without an extensive credit history, or with low credit scores, and interest rates may be linked to the borrower\u2019s creditworthiness,\u201d Turner said.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            In the absence of increased availability of private student loans, professional programs like medical schools may become less accessible, Turner said.\n    <\/p>\n<h2>\n        Abandoning dreams\n<\/h2>\n<p>\n            Yale University student Faven Wondwosen has dreamed of becoming a doctor since childhood.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            \u201cMy parents never went to college, and they\u2019re both immigrants.
