对美国大学财务状况产生影响

Foreign students are big business: They pumped $42 billion into US college and university coffers in the 2017-18 school year alone.

国际学生给美国大学带来了大笔收入：仅在2017-18学年，他们就为美国各大学贡献了420亿美元（约合2916亿元人民币）。

International students have become an important funding source for American colleges as traditional revenue sources, such as state funding, come under pressure. Most undergraduate foreign students do not qualify for need-based financial aid and must pay close to full tuition and fees to attend US schools.

由于政府资助等传统的经费来源受限，国际学生成为美国大学重要的资金来源。大多数就读本科的国际学生不符合申请经济资助的条件，必须全额支付学费和其他费用。

Carol Spradling, director of the school of computer science at Northwest Missouri State University, said international enrollment began declining precipitously two years ago, following a “perfect storm” that included President Trump’s election with his tough talk on immigration and the shooting of an Indian immigrant worker in Olathe, Kan. The downturn, she said, had a huge impact on her school’s finances.

美国西北密苏里州立大学计算机学院院长卡萝尔·斯普拉德林说，两年前，特朗普当选总统并就移民问题发表强硬言论，一名印度工程师在堪萨斯州奥拉西被枪杀，国际学生的入学率开始急剧下降。她说，国际学生下降对她所在学校的财务产生了巨大影响。
