Trump says he’s considering giving $3B of Harvard grant money to trade schools
- On May 29, 2025, President Donald Trump said in Washington he is considering redirecting $3 billion in federal grant money from Harvard University to trade schools.
- This move follows his administration freezing roughly $3 billion in grants to Harvard and blocking its foreign student enrollment as part of a broader effort to challenge Harvard's academic independence and alleged left-wing bias.
- Harvard, a private university located in Cambridge, Massachusetts, has sued to restore funding and called the policies an unconstitutional attack violating free speech and federal laws, amid ongoing legal battles that include a temporary court order protecting its foreign students.
- Congress allocates approximately $3 billion in grants that are primarily managed by the NIH, which distributes these funds to support biomedical research following extensive application procedures by individual scientists—a process not commonly undertaken by trade schools—underscoring a notable challenge in how research funding is allocated.
- These events escalate tensions between the Trump administration and Harvard, raising potential implications for U.S. Academia control, the future of federal research funding, and the livelihood of thousands of international students enrolled at Harvard.
