UNDERSTANDING FULBRIGHT
What is
Fulbright?
Fulbright is an international academic exchange program that creates opportunities for students, scholars and professionals to study, teach, research and collaborate across countries.
THE PROGRAM
An exchange of ideas.
Established in 1946, the Fulbright Program is the United States government's flagship international academic exchange program. Its purpose is to increase mutual understanding between people in the United States and people around the world.
Participants share knowledge, experience another culture and build relationships that can continue long after their Fulbright experience ends.
