Summary
The bill establishes a Critical Mineral Mining Fellowship Program within the Fulbright exchange, allowing U.S. students and recent graduates to study mining at foreign institutions. It is intended to build a skilled domestic mining workforce as many current workers are set to retire and few U.S. schools offer mining programs. The program will be run by the State Department’s Bureau of Education and Cultural Affairs, with fellows selected by the Fulbright Foreign Scholarship Board.
