Summary

The U.S. State Department has frozen funding for Fulbright and other international scholarship programs, leaving thousands of scholars stranded without financial support.

The move is part of the Trump administration’s broader efforts to cut government spending. Affected scholars, including Americans abroad and foreign scholars in the U.S., have received only partial payments with no clarity on future funds.

Advocacy groups warn the freeze impacts over 12,500 participants. Universities and scholars are scrambling for alternatives, while officials have yet to provide explanations or solutions.

    I wish America would wake the fuck up from this nightmare they’ve dragged us all into.

    The whole nation should just walk off the job for a few days and see how the orange butt plug likes that … nobody paying attention to him and nothing making the news cycle 'cause everybody’s just taking a well-deserved mental health break.

    Scholars? That sounds like book-learnin’, which I’ve been told is WOKE.
