McMahon Issues Statement on Passage of the ‘No Aid for Ghost Students Act’
· Texas Border Business
U.S. Secretary of Education Linda McMahon praised the House of Representatives for passing the No Aid for Ghost Students Act, introduced by Congressman Burgess Owens. This legislation aims to combat fraud in federal student aid by implementing stricter screening processes for suspicious applications. McMahon highlighted that previous administrations had weakened fraud prevention measures, leading to significant taxpayer losses. The Trump Administration has since focused on restoring these measures, saving over $100 million in potential fraud since April 2026. The act is part of broader efforts to ensure federal aid benefits legitimate students and families, not fraudsters.
