The House Appropriations Committee is preparing to mark-up its version of FY27 State Department funding on April 23rd, with the full Committee considering that measure on April 28th. We have no time to lose to have our voices heard on the importance of the international scholarship, exchange and language programs operated by the State Department’s Bureau of Educational and Cultural Exchange. And we need to be loud because last year the Bureau sustained a $74 million cut and, in this year’s budget, the President has proposed to eliminate another $451 million, leaving the Bureau with only $215 million. Virtually all major programs would be eliminated or severely limited if this budget becomes law.
Please send an email to your Senators and Representatives and urge them to restore funding to FY25 levels for the Department of State’s Bureau of Educational and Cultural Exchange. Your emails must go up as soon as possible.
