International students would benefit from Biden’s spending bill

Biden’s spending bill, called the “Build Back Better” agenda, could open up a fairly favorable financial pathway for immigrant students protected by two deportation relief programs:

• TPS (Temporary Protected Status).
• DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals).

In the budget package, the Biden administration proposes to invest billions of dollars in the higher education sector, which also includes the possibility of offering federal financial aid to foreign students who meet certain eligibility requirements.

It is worth explaining that Biden’s proposal would primarily benefit DACA recipients, known as Dreamers, who are young immigrants who came to the US without legal documentation when they were minors, and who have resided in this North American country for as long as they can remember.

How would Biden’s proposal help foreign students?

If the House and Senate pass the spending bill as currently written, then certain federal funds would be available for undocumented foreign students, a proposal that has not previously passed.

Under the budget package, eligible DACA recipients and TPS beneficiaries would be able to access:

• Pell Grants, a federal financial aid available to low- and middle-income students.
• Federal loans, an option that has not been available before for undocumented students.
• Federal work-study programs, which would allow eligible foreign students to work in their campuses.

There is still much to be done to protect immigrant students

Biden’s proposal within the budget package is quite positive for eligible international students, but the reality is that it would not be enough to protect all undocumented students.

Why do we say this?

• There are currently about 427,000 undocumented students in the US, but only 181,000 would be eligible to access financial aid programs under Biden’s agenda.
• In other words, only 42% of undocumented students would benefit from Biden’s spending bill.

In fact, according to a recent Inside Higher Ed report, “while expanded federal aid to DACA recipients and TPS holders would be a welcomed change by advocates, it wouldn’t help the majority of current and prospective undocumented students”.
