DEVELOPING: Colleges Scramble as Trump Cuts Lifeline for Migrant Students

Breaking News: Colleges Scramble as Trump Cuts Lifeline for Migrant Students The Trump administration has halted funding for the College Assistance Migrant Program (CAMP), a program that helps migrant students attend and succeed in college. The US Education Department notified colleges on June 1 that they would not receive $2.4 million in funding over five years. Colleges are already feeling the impact, with some laying off staff members and cutting back services. CAMP provides critical support to first-year students from migrant families, including internship resources, mental health counseling, tutoring, and financial aid. The program serves about 2,400 students annually at colleges and universities across the country. The Trump administration has criticized migrant education programs, claiming they are "extremely costly" and "not proven effective." However, CAMP has a long history of success, with many students going on to graduate and pursue successful careers. As colleges scramble to adjust to the loss of funding, students and advocates are speaking out against the decision. The future of CAMP remains uncertain, but one thing is clear: thousands of migrant students will be affected by this cut in funding. This is a developing story.
