More than 820,000 undergraduates are connected to the U.S. military, including those actively serving or enlisted in the National Guard, former service members and spouses, and dependents of military service members.
The University of Texas at San Antonio serves 5,000-plus military-affiliated students in a region that has the largest concentration of military bases in the country.

Proponents of career and technical education programs and Democratic lawmakers are wringing their hands over the U.S. Department of Education’s plans to offload the funding and administration of CTE programs to the U.S. Department of Labor.

In November last year, Los Angeles City College student Brenda Olazava received an email notifying her that she had been selected to participate in a guaranteed income pilot program for the Los Angeles Community College District called Building Outstanding Opportunities for Students to Thrive, or BOOST.

Those grants are now being paused or terminated.
The Harvard Kennedy School this week announced backup plans for its international students in case the federal government prevents them from returning to Harvard or entering the United States.

This summer, millions of college students are entering an uncertain post-graduation landscape—one that includes the Trump administration's federal hiring freeze, strained research funding, and a slew of executive orders targeting higher education.
