Abstract
Department of State obligated $54.8M to INSTITUTE OF INTERNATIONAL EDUCATION INC, for work in USA. IIE IS HEREBY PROVIDED WITH A FEDERAL AWARD TO SUPPORT THE FY 2026 FULBRIGHT STUDENT PROGRAM, PENDING THE AVAILABILITY OF FUNDS. THE FIRST CR EXPIRES ON 1/30/2026.
Why this matters
This obligation continues a recurring annual pattern of large State Department funding to IIE for the Fulbright Student Program, extending the record into FY 2026. Tracking these year-over-year amounts helps establish a baseline for the program’s scale and the durability of IIE’s role as the primary implementing partner.
