Colleges would receive nearly $40 billion in direct coronavirus aid in Democrats' latest relief package, the largest single infusion of federal funding institutions have seen since the pandemic began. Nonprofit and public colleges would need to devote at least half their cut of the funds to student grants. For-profit institutions would need to dedicate all the money they receive to students. The nearly $2 trillion spending bill doesn't limit which students can get relief money. The House education committee as of Tuesday evening was reviewing its section of the bill, which is expected to pass. The entire package would head to the Senate floor for an expedited vote after the House signs off.
