Federal aid to education [r]: Federal grants to state and local governments or nonprofit organizations to support, maintain, expand or reform education. In the Great Society period, this was a major expansion of the federal constitutional role. More recently, federal assistance has been further extended to private, church-related and commercial educational ventures and individuals.
