As you know, higher education is essential to training our workforce and cultivating new lifesaving treatments, innovation, and technology that propel America forward. We want to take the opportunity to express our gratitude for the stable federal funding through the Fiscal Year 2026 (FY26) appropriations process. Congressional support and commitment to education and research programs will ensure that American institutions of higher education remain engines of social mobility, economic growth, and groundbreaking research. Join ACE in thanking Congress for their work on FY26 appropriations.  You can adapt this letter to send to your members of Congress with the name of your institution, as well as highlighting federal programs important to your college or university.
