Education Secretary Linda McMahon announced last week that five different universities across the country are now being investigated by her department over scholarships that they're offering exclusively to DACA recipients.
According to McMahon, students who are Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) recipients are being granted special scholarships by the University of Louisville, the University of Nebraska Omaha, the University of Miami, the University of Michigan, and Western Michigan University.
A list of scholarships that are not available to American citizens or any other legal residents has been made available online by the Education Department. McMahon also posted a statement on X, saying, "Non-citizens should not be given special preference over American citizens for scholarships at American universities."
