Department of Education federal obligations in FY2026

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 Program names and campuses are unpublished.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.

Education award records are not FY2026 grants

110,653 is the Department of Education extract-wide award-record count, not FY2026 instruments and not a student count. This page does not divide $19,967,463,039.96 by 110,653. Unique recipients are unpublished.

What Education FY2026 omits

No outlays, no CFDA mix, no named schools, no FEC overlay. Campaign donations do not fund these USAspending obligations. All agencies (/agencies/) and All spending ties (/ties/) list other keys.
