As student loan caps go into effect, we are seeing media coverage over the way some law schools are responding. A story yesterday on this issue from Bloomberg Law:

Students pursuing graduate or professional degrees previously were able to borrow up to the full cost of attendance through federal loans. Uncapped loans were eliminated by the GOP-led tax and spending bill and went into effect July 1. Prospective law students — some with bad credit, no credit, or no qualified co-signer — now must grapple with expensive private loans to finance part of their degrees, which could change their calculation about which school to attend.

A handful of schools are taking action now, ensuring that students impacted by the borrowing cap will have options.
