Half of the international student population at Northwestern University is from China, the institute’s website states. On Thursday, after Rubio’s announcement, the group Northwestern University Graduate Workers signed an open letter to universities, urging them to reject the congressional committee’s March requests for information about Chinese students.How much revenue do these students bring to the US?

US universities earn billions of dollars from the tuition fees that international students pay. But these students also bring benefits to local economies.During the 2023-2024 academic year, international students studying at colleges and universities in the US contributed $43.8bn to the US economy and supported more than 378,000 jobs, according to data released by the non-profit organisation NAFSA: Association of International Educators.A NAFSA release in November 2024 says that this economic activity is the highest amount ever calculated by the organisation.

The NAFSA data says there are 1.1 million international students in the US, so on average, an international student contributes around $39,800 to the American economy annually.By that calculation, the 277,398 Chinese students in the US in 2023-24 would have contributed in excess of $11bn to the US economy that year.

How much have Chinese graduates contributed to the US?

Once they graduate, international students in the US contribute disproportionately to American innovation: A 2022 analysis by the National Foundation for American Policy (NFAP) found that 55 percent of all US-based startups valued at more than a billion dollars were founded by immigrants.“We’ve grown a lot this season and the players have progressed a lot. I think the strength of the team is the most important thing. You learn something every day after many years of experience as a coach, and I’m improving all the time with this group.”

Simone Inzaghi, Inter Milan manager:“The players did something extraordinary. We played four amazing games against two world-class teams like Bayern and Barcelona. It was great to celebrate this achievement [reaching the final] here with our fans.”
