Washington public and private colleges, universities and trade schools will receive $223.5 million from the federal CARES stimulus act. They’ve already started distributing half of it to needy students whose educations were scrambled by the coronavirus.

But less than half the money allocated to Washington public institutions is going to community colleges, even though they educate more than two-thirds of Washington’s college students. And undocumented students at any school were excluded from receiving federal funds altogether.
