Language Education Funding in Jeopardy - Take Action Now

Language education funding for Fiscal Years 2025 and 2026 is in jeopardy.
The Department of Education is months late in allocating to states the
already enacted FY 25 funding for key language education programs,
including the $2.19 billion Title II-A Supporting Effective Instruction
State Grants and the $800 million Title III English Language Acquisition
Grants...Further, the President’s FY26 budget has proposed eliminating
funding for Title III and Title VI of the Higher Education Act, which funds
both domestic language education programs and Fulbright-Hays study abroad
programs. The President’s budget also proposes to consolidate into a single
K-12 block grant $6.5 billion in existing programs, including Title II-A,
Title IV-A (a flexible block grant), Alaska Native Education and Native
Hawaiian Education, and slash total funding by nearly 70%.

While JNCL-NCLIS is working hard to ensure F25 dollars are allocated to
states and districts as Congress intended and that all key language
education programs are protected from proposed budget cuts in FY26, we need
your voices to amplify these messages on Capitol Hill. Please send emails
to your Senators and Representatives today!
