House Republicans proposed a 15% reduction in the U.S. Department of Education’s 2026 budget, advancing many of Donald Trump’s spending cut priorities. The proposed bill retains the maximum Pell Grant level but eliminates funding for the Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant and heavily reduces Federal Work-Study program funds. The plan aims to cut over $2 billion from K-12 programs and emphasizes reducing government spending consistent with Trump’s agenda, though it faces negotiation with a Senate proposal to maintain current funding levels.
