On June 17, Representative Lauren Boebert (R-CO, 4) introduced an amendment (Amendment #110) to the House Fiscal Year 2027 (FY27) Department of State funding bill that seeks to eliminate funding for the Fulbright Program. The amendment text proposes completely removing the bill line item that currently includes $287.8 million in program funding for FY27. The Fulbright Program has incredibly strong support in Congress and this amendment is very unlikely to gain traction among House Members or to be adopted. We’re asking Congress to reject the amendment should it come up for a vote during the full FY27 State Department funding bill process that is expected to occur early next week. Please protect the Fulbright Program.
