Malawi: University Students Affected as U.S. Freezes Aid

Public universities in Malawi have directed students sponsored by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) to either secure alternative funding or withdraw from their studies following the recent freeze on U.S. foreign aid.

The aid suspension, announced by U.S. President Donald Trump, will last 90 days and has already begun impacting thousands of students across several universities, including Lilongwe University of Agriculture and Natural Resources, Mzuzu University, Kamuzu University of Health Sciences, and the Malawi University of Science and Technology (MUST).
