US dubs theology students as non-professional, limits loan amounts

The US has designated theology students as non-professional, which limits their available loan amounts. This action follows a federal judge's court order that temporarily blocked a Trump administration rule. That previous rule had reclassified graduate degrees in nursing and other specific fields as nonprofessional. Consequently, the current classification change restricts the financial aid and loan ceilings accessible to students pursuing theology degrees, aligning with the judicial intervention regarding professional degree definitions.
