The U.S. Department of Education on Tuesday announced how it would allocate more than $36 billion in Covid-19 relief to America’s universities and colleges, and the students who attend them. It’s the third round of pandemic-relief money from the federal government, thanks to the enacting, in March, of the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021.
The Biden administration has also reversed Trump-era rules on which types of students qualify to receive this federal support.
