Overview
The Fulbright Fellowship is the flagship international educational exchange program sponsored by the U.S. government and is designed to increase mutual understanding between the people of the United States and the people of other countries. The program was established in 1946 under legislation introduced by then-Senator J. William Fulbright of Arkansas. The program is sponsored by the U.S. Department of State’s Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs. Approximately 318,000 “Fulbrighters,” 119,800 from the United States and 197,600 from other countries, have participated in the Program since its inception more than seventy years ago.
