Taxpayers will no longer fund illegal aliens’ education

UNITED STATES, JUL 11 – The policy reversal closes a Clinton-era loophole allowing undocumented immigrants access to federally funded education programs, ensuring benefits go only to citizens and legal residents.

  • On July 10, 2025, the U.S. Department of Education announced the end of federal funding for dual enrollment, adult, career, and technical education programs for undocumented immigrants.
  • The reversal ends a 1997 Clinton-era Dear Colleague letter that misinterpreted the 1996 PRWORA law, which restricts benefits to citizens and certain qualified aliens.
  • The Department of Education issued a Federal Register rule confirming that career, technical, adult education programs, Pell Grants, and student loans are ineligible for illegal immigrants, ending taxpayer funding.
  • Undocumented students face new barriers as federal funding for education programs ends, restricting Pell Grants and loans to only U.S. citizens and legal residents.
  • Beginning August 9, 2025, enforcement will comply with PRWORA to protect taxpayer funds and restrict benefits to lawfully present individuals.
