USAspending.gov records $19,967,463,039.96 in Department of Education obligations for fiscal year 2026. On toptier 091, that yearlyTrend amount is 5.0% of the department's $398,145,700,789.94 extract-wide total. The join is Education plus FY2026, not an enrollment census and not aid already drawn. Agency 091 publishes 110,653 award records in this extract; that count is not a FY2026-only grant list.
Key figures
- USAspending records $19,967,463,039.96 in Department of Education FY2026 obligations (agency 091).
- FY2026 is 5.0% of Education's $398,145,700,789.94 extract-wide total and can still be incomplete.
- 110,653 award records are extract-wide, not a FY2026 grant census.
- Obligations are not outlays; no campuses are named.
Education's still-open FY2026 cell
Fiscal year 2026 can still be filling in; the source note says FY figures can be incomplete for the current year. $19,967,463,039.96 is the published yearlyTrend obligation total for agency 091 in FY2026, not the $398,145,700,789.94 all-year Education book, not every federal education dollar that year, and not an outlay.
A small FY2026 Education cell beside larger prior-year rows is the expected pattern for a year still posting, not proof that student aid stopped. Program names and campuses are unpublished. Correlation with enrollment is not causation.
FY2026 versus Education's extract-wide total
5.0% of $398,145,700,789.94 is tagged to FY2026 in this extract. The Department of Education hub (/agencies/091/) omits the year filter. FY2026 federal spending (/fiscal-years/2026/) omits the 091 filter. Do not add those parents into $19,967,463,039.96.
Do not annualize $19,967,463,039.96 into a school-year budget. Later ingests can restate the cell. Cite obligations, not outlays.

Questions
- How much has Education obligated in FY2026 in this extract?
- USAspending.gov records $19,967,463,039.96 in Department of Education obligations for FY2026 under agency 091. That yearlyTrend amount can still change; FY figures can be incomplete for the current year. Keep Department of Education and FY2026 on the same citation as $19,967,463,039.96.
- Why is FY2026 a small share of Education's book?
- FY2026 is 5.0% of $398,145,700,789.94 here and may still be filling in. Other fiscal years for agency 091 are separate cells. Do not treat the gap as a canceled aid list. 110,653 is the agency extract award-record count, not a FY2026 headcount.
- Are 110,653 awards FY2026 Education grants?
- No. 110,653 is the Department of Education extract-wide award-record count, not a FY2026 census. Schools and students are unpublished. Obligations of $19,967,463,039.96 are not outlays. The pair is agency 091 plus FY2026. The pair is agency 091 plus FY2026.
- Is this Pell already disbursed?
