As of July 1, federal loan limits for graduate students will be capped, pushing many to seek private loans with higher interest rates. This change could make it harder for aspiring physician assistants to finance their education, increasing their debt burden.

This shift may force many to reconsider their career choices or delay graduation, highlighting a broader issue in higher education financing.
