On taxpayers' dime

On taxpayers' dime, foreigners get free college in US

  • A U.S. government program spends more than $15 million per year in order to help foreign students attend community college in the U.S.
  • According to the program's website, students will "return home with new skills and expertise to help them contribute to the economic growth and development of their country."
As thousands of American college students struggle to afford the rising cost of college, the U.S. State Department is helping to fund community college for more than 300 foreign students, according to a recent report released by Senator Rand Paul (R-Ky.).
The program, called the Community College Initiative Program (CCI), received $15,825,000 in the 2019 fiscal year to pay for community college costs for foreign students from up to as many as 12 different countries.
CCI provides scholarships for visa assistance, round-trip travel to and from the United States for program dates, one year of community college tuition and fees, meals, books, housing, and other incidentals. Students are only eligible for one year of studies.
