But some higher education advocates challenged that claim. The American Council on Education, an association of college presidents, said the rescue package placed no limits on student eligibility.
“A college could give an emergency grant to a Dreamer without realizing the person is a Dreamer,” he said, referring to immigrants who were brought to the U.S. illegally but allowed to stay under the under the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, or DACA. “I was disappointed for students here at UCR, for students across California, and I was disappointed for the nation,” Wilcox said. “This is a huge economic hit and there are pressing needs everywhere.”
Sara Goldrick-Rab, a professor of higher education policy and sociology at Temple University, said the new requirements are cruel to students who were counting on the grants to cover food, housing and other costs, and to colleges that now have to scramble to revise plans for distributing the funding. Losing access to the grants will likely force some students to drop out, she said, especially those whose families are dealing with unemployment amid the pandemic.

Hey but let's bring guns to schools to kill grizzly bears 😏
Finally some common sense. 'Illegals' have been draining resources that the American tax payer expects to support their kids. The Democrats have made the real citizens of America suffer while they give illegals welfare and pay millions for their babies that they use to scam us.
Hey Betsy, Dreamers probably paid more income tax than you did last year
Great news for America
If I were coming from another country to further my education, the U.S. would be last on my list. Not because of the Pandemic, but because the standards in most the Universities is to low. All it takes is money, not hard work.
How is it legal to force nursing staffers to work covid units against our choices , when we have vulnerable and cancer patients at home, Greenwood Meadows just forced my friend zack against his choice to work a covid unit. They told him to choose to work covid or go home
Gotta love the corporatist ghouls who run the Trump Administration *sigh*
Sec. DeVos gives college grants to American students as part of $2 trillion Coronavirus package. There fixed it for you. NBC the network for everyone but America.
It’s as if breaking the law doesn’t mean something...🤔
Heartless
DeVos is a despicable and fraudulent member of this administration... one of many... SMH 🤦♂️
In other words, brown people.
Why would foreign students get grants? Daca to me is different.
As it should be.
Good.

You know and I know it didn't come from her...
How much each institution gets is based on how much federal aid their students received previously which only goes to American citizens. Even in state vs out of state students receive different prices. Why should US aid go to non US students?
How is that a bad thing?
She has no heart.
She’s a ghoul.
Good news. The Trump administration is barring most international students and all students who entered the U.S. illegally from receiving emergency college grants approved by Congress as part of nearly $2 trillion coronavirus rescue package.
This is Betsy's America...
DeVos is an insult to any sane, educated human being. She suffers severe cronyism with a side of elitism. A total disgrace, like her boss.
“Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!” Emma Lazarus
Betsy Devos is the devil
