Fulbright-Hays Competition Cancelled

The Department of Education has cancelled several prominent programs associated with studying and teaching abroad for fiscal year 2025.

According to the notice, the affected programs include the Fulbright-Hays Group Projects Abroad , Doctoral Dissertation Research Abroad, and the Faculty Research Abroad Fellowship programs.

The administration’s rationale for cancelling the Fulbright competition is “to ensure that all priorities and requirements for the Department’s FY 2025 competitions align with the objectives established by the Trump Administration, foster consistency across all grant programs, and enhance the economic effectiveness of federal education funding.” Similar logic has been used by the administration to justify the termination or suspension of other research grant programs.
