A number of colleges and universities in Colorado are doling out hundreds of thousands of dollars in aid for illegal immigrants and others who are barred from receiving a share of federal emergency grants through the CARES Act.
Colorado State University (CSU) has provided $1,500 grants to 400 students, reported The Denver Post. A CSU spokesman told the newspaper that 218 of these students were illegal immigrants, and the rest were those who would otherwise not be eligible for CARES Act aid, such as international students. He said the university awarded those grants “based on an assessment of student need” in the same manner that CARES Act grants were awarded.
