FY 2015 Annual Performance Report and FY 2017 Annual Performance Plan—U.S. Department of Education 162 

Appendix D: Additional Programs by Goal

Most of the Department’s 100-plus programs are funded through discretionary appropriation 

acts enacted each fiscal year. However, there are many education programs—some of them 

large—that are funded directly through their authorizing statutes. For many budgeting purposes, 

these programs are classified as mandatory. For the purposes of this document, resources by 

goal are discretionary funds only. Mandatory programs that contribute to each goal are listed 

below.
