Here are the five universities under investigation:

University of Miami: The U Dreamers Program was established to help all admitted students meet 100% of their demonstrated financial need.
University of Michigan: The Dreamer Scholarship offers flexible assistance to help students continue their studies.
Western Michigan University: The Undocumented Student Scholarship Program offers a limited number of privately funded scholarships.
University of Nebraska Omaha: The Dreamer's Pathway Scholarship offered renewable, full-tuition, fee and book coverage up to five years. (Note: The website has been removed.)
University of Louisville: The Sagar Patagundi Scholarship subsidized "the cost of higher education…for undergraduate DACA and undocumented students," according to the Education Department press release. A link to the scholarship wasn't found.

This is not the first time the Department of Education has probed university scholarships for potentially discriminatory scholarships. The Office of Civil Rights placed 50 institutions under investigation in March for their partnership with a nonprofit aimed at boosting minority representation in postdoctoral programs.
