Fulbright-Hays Grants Canceled for the Year
Briefly

The Department of Education has canceled three Fulbright-Hays fellowship programs for fiscal year 2025, affecting doctoral students and faculty aiming to enhance American expertise in critical languages. This decision is part of a broader trend of grant cancellations since President Trump's administration began. With over 400 applications submitted prior to cancellation, critics highlight that the cuts represent serious structural problems, exacerbated by recent staff reductions that have left the overseeing office, IFLE, without any employees. This challenges the department’s statutory commitments to educational programs.
The Fulbright-Hays fellowship programs face cancellation, impacting doctoral students and faculty in critical language research and signaling deeper issues within the Department of Education.
The decision to cancel the Fulbright-Hays programs may be a reflection of larger systemic problems stemming from significant staff reductions within the Department of Education.
