"The Fulbright Program aims to bring a little more knowledge,
a little more reason, and a little more compassion into world
affairs and thereby to increase the chance that nations will learn
at last to live in peace and friendship."
– J. William Fulbright |
The flagship international educational program sponsored by the United
States Government, the Fulbright Program is designed to "increase
mutual understanding between the people of the United States and the
people of other countries..." With this goal, the Fulbright Program
has provided approximately 275,000 participants — chosen for their
academic merit and leadership potential — with the opportunity
to observe each others' political, economic, educational and cultural
institutions, to exchange ideas and to embark on joint ventures of importance
to the general welfare of the world's inhabitants.
The Fulbright Program provides grants for Graduate Students, Scholars
and Professionals, and Teachers and Administrators from the U.S. and
other countries.
