On Friday, ASAHP and other member organizations of the Federation of Associations of Schools of the Health Professions (FASHP) sent a letter to Congress urging that any forthcoming budget reconciliation legislation does not negatively impact students and student loan borrowers, which would have substantial ramifications on access to higher education across the country. This includes the elimination of student loan programs for graduate study as well as longstanding tax deductions, which provide financial assistance to students and borrowers. Established in 1968, FASHP comprises 19 associations representing a health professions education community.
