I don’t know, and I don’t have the time to research this topic. I’m sorry.
But I do know there is federal funding for local schools. Although it is not a lot, and most of the funding for local schools comes from local sources. But, based on the fact that there is federal funding for local schools, there could also be federal funding for colleges as well. IMO of course.
You are absolutely correct. There is federal funding for local schools. But that funding is not authorized by the defined and limited power granted to Congress.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s socialism will promise food on the table, free public housing, health care for all, free college tuition, and other niceties by taxing the so called rich; and if by chance her leadership actually gains control because of such promises made, the end result, as John Adams stated, “will be revengeful, bloody, and cruel”
You could make an argument for the general welfare of the US, but you probably don’t like that argument. 
I don’t see an allowance for funding overseas bases in the constitution myself, but it could be counted under common defense.
The founders gave a list of particulars beneath Article 1, Section 8, Clause 1 for which Congress may tax and spend.
In Federalist No. 83, which was written to explain the meaning of the Constitution and get its approval, Hamilton refers to a “specification of particulars” which he goes on to say “evidently excludes all pretension to a general legislative authority“.
Madison, in No. 41 Federalist, explaining the meaning of general welfare states the following:
"It has been urged and echoed, that the power "to lay and collect taxes…to pay the debts, and provide for the common defense and the general welfare of the United States amounts to an unlimited commission to exercise every power which may be alleged to be necessary for the common defense or general welfare. No stronger proof could be given of the distress under which these writers labor [the anti-federalists] for objections, than their stooping to such a misconstruction…But what color can this objection have, when a specification of the object alluded to by these general terms immediately follows, and is not ever separated by a longer pause than a semicolon?..For what purpose could the enumeration of particular powers be inserted, if these and all others were meant to be included in the preceding general power…But the idea of an enumeration of particulars which neither explain nor qualify the general meaning…is an absurdity."
Likewise, in the Virginia ratification Convention Madison explains the general welfare phrase in the following manner so as to gain ratification of the constitution: "the powers of the federal government are enumerated; it can only operate in certain cases; it has legislative powers on defined and limited objects, beyond which it cannot extend its jurisdiction."[3 Elliots 95]
Also see Nicholas, 3 Elliot 443 regarding the general welfare clause, which he pointed out "was united, not to the general power of legislation, but to the particular power of laying and collecting taxes…"
Similarly , George Mason, in the Virginia ratification Convention informs the convention
"The Congress should have power to provide for the general welfare of the Union, I grant. But I wish a clause in the Constitution, with respect to all powers which are not granted, that they are retained by the states. Otherwise the power of providing for the general welfare may be perverted to its destruction.". [3 Elliots 442]
For this very reason the Tenth Amendment was quickly ratified to intentionally put to rest any question whatsoever regarding the general welfare clause and thereby cut off the pretext to allow Congress to extend its powers via the wording provide for the “general welfare“.

Federal Reserve Notes are not dollars. Gold and silver coins are. FRNs are worthless script used by bankers to plunder real material wealth created by labor and industry.
Then why hasn’t it been challenged?
Which brings us back to highroller’s question. Where does it allow Congress to spend money on overseas bases
Yes. Why hasn’t it been challenged?

The Green Deal , I don’t think was ever meant to be exposed. The name was to carry it through, but when the details were revealed, no gas, no oil, no coal, 99% of cars gone and money for everyone, even if they don’t work, that turned the Green Deal into a Dark Ages Deal. If these people ever get into power, you will not have to worry about where you live, what you eat and especially vacations cause you will own nothing and you won’t be going anywhere.
The Pseudo Elites like Cortez will not be living like you do. Think Socialism/Communism. Then remember it when you vote.
It’s quite simple actually. I’m guessing we don’t have the case to cite because it isn’t illegal.
I hate to break this to you but Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was in fact voted into a position of power
Bartenders are now considered “pseudo elites”? You do know that until she was told to stop she was sleeping on a cot in her office because she couldn’t afford rent right?
And she has turned out to be a class clown. I used to own property in Edgewater Park in the Bronx, part of her district, and the only reason she won was because the only ones who turned up to vote were those smelling free government cheese, about 16000 rats.
