1 Includes funds for vocational education and for federal programs at libraries and museums.

2 Other recipients include American Indian tribes, private nonprofit agencies, and banks.

NOTE: Outlays by type of recipient are estimated based on obligation data. Negative amounts occur when program receipts exceed outlays. The increase in postsecondary expenditures in 2006 resulted primarily from an accounting adjustment. All funds from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA) are included in FY 2009. Most ARRA funds had a 2-year availability, meaning that they were available for the Department of Education to obligate during FY 2009 and FY 2010. Some data have been revised from previously published figures. Detail may not sum to totals because of rounding.
