DCNP/AANP URGENT REQUEST: CONTACT DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION BY 3/2/26 USING THIS TEMPLATE -- That is MONDAY!

As you may know, the Department of Education’s proposed rule excludes NPs from the definition of a professional degree program. Comment now to ensure that nurse practitioners (NPs) and other post-baccalaureate nurses are included in the professional degree definition for federal student loans. AANP has made it easy for you to respond to the proposal by clicking here to pick a customizable letter based on if you are a practicing NP, NP faculty, NP student or an NP supporter. Don’t wait: comments are due to the Department of Education by Monday, March 2, 2026.
