They won scholarships and admission offers: Here’s why thousands of international students are still not arriving in America

Thousands of international students with scholarships and visas are unable to study in the US due to President Trump’s travel ban. The restrictions affect citizens from 19 countries, causing delays and cancellations despite students’ admission offers and financial preparations. Many are deferring enrolment or seeking education alternatives in Europe. The ban remains in place amid national security concerns, significantly impacting students’ futures and US campuses’ international diversity.
