  • Republicans look to add taxes on college scholarships to help pay for Trump's tax cuts - Alook at possible federal budget cuts that would affect higher education under the Trump administration

The article from MSN discusses a proposal by House Republicans to impose taxes on college scholarships as a means to offset the costs of extending former President Donald Trump's tax cuts. This initiative, part of a broader tax plan, aims to address the impending expiration of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) in 2025.

The proposal has sparked significant debate over its implications for educational equity and the future funding of higher education.
