Intl. Education Programs Threatened by Drastic Cuts

The president's fiscal 2026 budget is the latest assault on federal international education programs. To boost our economy, strengthen the global skills of our workforce, and bolster U.S. national security, urge Congress to protect and fund them.

Urge Congress to Take Action

Stand up for International Students and Scholars

Convey to Congress that recent actions targeting international students and scholars undermine U.S. economic growth and weaken our global competitiveness and that the Department of State should resume via appointments immediately.

Ask Congress to Intervene
