A year of federal funding shifts has disrupted billions in K–12 and higher‑education grants, with Education Week documenting more than $12 billion in canceled, delayed or reallocated awards under current administration actions. The moves have affected grant recipients nationwide and reshaped program planning across campus and district leaders. At the same time, the National Endowment for the Humanities (under the current administration) announced sizable civics-education grants—more than $25 million—to institutions such as the University of Texas at Austin, UNC Chapel Hill and Ohio State University. Those targeted awards underscore the administration’s narrower funding priorities even as broader grant streams face uncertainty. Campus leaders should prepare for continued volatility: reorganized federal priorities may favor specific programmatic aims and require institutions to pivot outreach and compliance strategies quickly when awards are altered or rescinded.
