Purdue University announced the termination of a sweeping college‑preparation program for low‑income students, citing federal funding reductions tied to the administration’s policy shifts. Campus officials said the cuts forced a reassessment of resource allocations and program sustainability, leaving affected students without a legacy pipeline to higher education. The decision adds to a growing list of campus program changes tied to federal policy decisions. Enrollment officers and outreach programs will need to identify alternative funding sources and partnerships to preserve access for economically disadvantaged applicants.
