Department of Education portal reveals foreign funding of Tufts, other American universities

Over the last six months, the Daily has collected evidence of concerns among the Tufts student body and faculty regarding financial aid. These concerns include continuous midyear cuts, sudden decreases in financial aid packages, a lack of communication between students and administrators and difficulties in the appeal process.

This investigation expands upon a previous article detailing the experiences of Emma Do, a Tufts student who was forced to return home after the entirety of her aid was withdrawn without notice in July 2024. Multiple students have since come forward with similar allegations of sudden funding cuts and reductions despite the critical need for aid.
