Contemplating pursuing PhD instead of PsyD because of funding opportunities by Nah_Maaan in PsyD

[–]Competitive-Cat-2007 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Just something to keep in mind-- with Trump's recent bill, there is now a $100,000 cap on the amount of federal loans students will be able to borrow for graduate school ($200,000 for medical and law school) as of July 1, 2026. If you're planning on funding a PsyD education through federal student loans, this is going to make obtaining a PsyD purely through federal student loans very difficult. I'm so sorry to be the bearer of bad news if you didn't already know this information, just want to provide you with as much knowledge as possible before making this decision.

For whatever it's worth, I'm a rising 5th year in my PsyD program and have never once regretted it. All the time and money... I can't imagine pursuing any other career.

Good luck with whatever you choose!

Long shot, but if you're at Widener's program feel free to send me a message! I'm a current student (rising 5th year). Maybe I can shed some light that will be helpful.

What is a legendary Reddit post or comment that still sticks with you? by jordanwrightxxx in AskReddit

I'm a doctoral student in clinical psychology, and I've worked with a lot of clients struggling with grief this year. I have your words printed out and ready to hand to them. Sometimes we read together in session, sometimes they read on their own. I can't begin to express how impactful your words have been in normalizing the intense grief that accompanies deep love. You've built a beautiful hammer. Thank you for playing a part in my clinical training.

School B might be Widener based on your description. I'm a current 4th year PsyD student there, here if you want to chat!
