U.S. for Success Coalition Urges Policymakers to Make Welcoming International Students a National Priority

On April 16, the U.S. for Success Coalition sent a letter to congressional leaders expressing concerns about recent actions and policies that have created barriers for international students and scholars seeking to further their education in the United States. These students and scholars play a critical role in enriching our nation's academic, cultural, and economic landscape. Any effort to restrict or deter them is detrimental to American students and businesses and to the United States’ position as a global leader in higher education.

The letter details the overwhelmingly positive ways in which international students make our nation safer, stronger, and more prosperous, and urges Congress to communicate to Secretaries Rubio and Noem that it should be a national priority to welcome international students and scholars to study and succeed here.
