"A person familiar with the decision said money is also being directed away from programs that support gifted and talented programs, magnet schools, international education and teacher training. "

You get the money if you do what Donald wants. No more supporting minority students either...which was the purpose of HBCUs.

They need to spend that money as fast as possible before it is withdrawn. There is an implied expectation with any "gift" and when that expectation is not fulfilled, the money will be taken away.

Don't use it for any long, multi year projects. Buy some lab equipment, pre pay recurring charges, pay down debt, etc. Just spend the money in a hurry!!!
