An analysis finds that the Trump administration has cut or frozen up to $177 billion in federal grants since the president took office for his second term. On Wednesday, a nonprofit and a group of researchers and scientists released a tracking tool that shows the cuts have affected all states and the District of Columbia. Health, nutrition, the environment and disaster relief make up the largest share of the cuts. Among the grants that were eliminated, frozen or delayed were ones related to maternal health in Michigan, education research in Mississippi and assistance to minority farmers in Iowa. The analysis is by the States United Democracy Center and the Grant Witness organization.

Over 760,000 teenagers in dozens of countries took the Programme for International Student Assessment last year. Results were released Tuesday.

Colleges around the country are seeking approval for a new federal grant program, Workforce Pell, to aid students enrolled for short-term job training. For decades, Pell grants have helped low- and moderate-income students attend college, but eligible programs had to be at least 15 weeks and a minimum of 600 hours. The expansion makes some shorter-term programs eligible, too. The federal government began accepting applications in July and has approved the first programs, including an emergency medical technician program in Iowa and a medical assistant program in Indiana.
