TheFulbright Program,including theFulbright–Hays Program,is one of severalUnited States Cultural Exchange Programswith the goal of improvingintercultural relations,cultural diplomacy,andintercultural competencebetween the people of the United States and other countries through the exchange of persons, knowledge, and skills. Via the program, competitively-selectedAmerican citizensincluding students, scholars, teachers, professionals, scientists, and artists may receive scholarships orgrantsto study, conduct research, teach, or exercise their talents abroad; and citizens of other countries may qualify to do the same in the United States.
The program was founded byUnited States SenatorJ. William Fulbrightin 1946 and has been considered one of the most prestigious scholarships in the United States.[1]The program provides approximately 8,000 grants annually, comprising roughly 1,600 grants to U.S. students, 1,200 to U.S. scholars, 4,000 to foreign students, 900 to foreign visiting scholars, and several hundred to teachers and professionals.[2]
The Fulbright Program is administered by cooperating organizations such as theInstitute of International Educationand operates in over 160 countries around the world.[3]TheBureau of Educational and Cultural Affairsof theU.S. Department of Statesponsors the Fulbright Program and receives funding from theUnited States Congressvia annualappropriation bills.Additional direct and in-kind support comes from partner governments, foundations, corporations, and host institutions both in and outside the U.S.[4]In 49 countries, a bi-national Fulbright Commission administers and oversees the Fulbright Program. In countries that have an active program but no Fulbright Commission, the Public Affairs Section of the U.S. embassy oversees the Fulbright Program. More than 370,000 people have participated in the program since it began; 62 Fulbright alumni have wonNobel Prizes;88 have wonPulitzer Prizes.[5][6]
History
[edit]The Fulbright Program's mission is to bring a little more knowledge, a little more reason, and a little more compassion into world affairs and thereby increase the chance that nations will learn at last to live in peace and friendship.[7]
— SenatorJ. William Fulbright
In 1945, Senator J. William Fulbright proposed a bill to use the proceeds from selling surplus U.S. government war property to fund international exchange between the U.S. and other countries. With the crucial timing of the aftermath of the Second World War and with the pressing establishment of the United Nations, the Fulbright Program was an attempt to promote peace and understanding through educational exchange. The bill devised a plan to forgo the debts foreign countries amassed during the war in return for funding an international educational program.[8]It was through the belief that this program would be an essential vehicle to promote peace and mutual understanding between individuals, institutions and future leaders wherever they may be.[9]
In August 1946, Congress created the Fulbright Program in what became the largest education exchange program in history. The program was expanded by theMutual Educational And Cultural Exchange Act of 1961,known as Fulbright-Hays Act. It made possible participation in international fairs and expositions, including trade and industrial fairs; translations; funding for American studies programs; funds to promote medical, scientific, cultural, and educational research and development; and modern foreign language training.[10]
The program operates on a bi-national basis; each country has entered into an agreement with the U.S. government. The first countries to sign agreements were China in 1947 and Burma, the Philippines, and Greece in 1948.[9]
In March 2024, the Russian government declared the Institute of International Education (IIE) and Cultural Vistas as "undesirable" in Russia[11].This decision effectively ended the Fulbright Program, which had been established in the USSR during the 1973-74 academic year[12].
Program
[edit]Educational exchange can turn nations into people, contributing as no other form of communication can to the humanizing of international relations.[16]
— SenatorJ. William Fulbright
The Fulbright Program exchanges scholars and students with numerous countries in bilateral partnerships managed by commissions for each country. It provides funding for U.S. persons to visit other countries in the U.S. Student Program, U.S. Scholar Program, Teacher Exchange Program, and others, and enables foreign nationals to visit the United States in programs such as the Foreign Student Program, Visiting Scholar Program, Teacher Exchange Program.
Candidates recommended for Fulbright grants have high academic achievement, a compelling project proposal or statement of purpose, demonstrated leadership potential, and flexibility and adaptability to interact successfully with the host community.
Fulbright grants are awarded in almost all academic disciplines, except clinical medical research involving patient contact. Fulbright grantees' fields of study span the fine arts, humanities, social sciences, mathematics, natural and physical sciences, and professional and applied sciences.[17]
Student grants
[edit]- The Fulbright Degree Program funds graduate education for international students wanting to study in the United States. Students apply for the scholarship in their home country and after a long process, they can pursue a Masters or Ph.D. program in the United States.[18]
- The Fulbright U.S. Student Program offers fellowships for U.S. graduating college seniors, graduate students, young professionals, and artists to research, study, or teach English abroad for one academic year. The program facilitates cultural exchange through direct interaction on an individual basis in the classroom, field, home, and in routine tasks, allowing the grantee to gain an appreciation of others' viewpoints and beliefs, the way they do things, and the way they think. The application period opens in the spring of each year.[19]Since the inaugural class in 1949,Harvard,Yale,Berkeley,Columbia,andMichiganhave been the top producers of U.S. Student Program scholars. Michigan has been the leading producer since 2005.[20]

It awards grants to individual U.S. K through 14 pre-teachers, teachers and administrators, pre-doctoral students, and post-doctoral faculty, as well as to U.S. institutions and organizations. Funding supports research and training efforts overseas, which focus on non-western foreign languages and area studies.[22]
Administration
[edit]The program is coordinated by the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs (ECA) of the U.S. Department of State under policy guidelines established by the Fulbright Foreign Scholarship Board (FSB), with the help of 50 bi-national Fulbright commissions, U.S. embassies, and cooperating organizations in the U.S.[4]
TheUnited States Department of Stateis responsible for managing, coordinating and overseeing the Fulbright program.Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairsis the bureau in the Department of State that has primary responsibility for the administration of the program.
The Fulbright Foreign Scholarship Board is a twelve-member board of educational and public leaders appointed by the President of the United States that determines general policy and direction for the Fulbright Program and approves all candidates nominated for Fulbright Scholarships.[23]
Bi-national Fulbright commissions and foundations, most of which are funded jointly by the U.S. and partner governments, develop priorities for the program, including the numbers and categories of grants. More specifically, they plan and implement educational exchanges, recruit and nominate candidates for fellowships; designate qualified local educational institutions to host Fulbrighters; fundraise; engage alumni; support incoming U.S. Fulbrighters; and, in many countries, operate an information service for the public on educational opportunities in the United States.[24]
In a country active in the program without a Fulbright commission, the Public Affairs Section of the U.S. Embassy administers the Fulbright Program, including recruiting and nominating candidates for grants to the U.S., overseeing U.S. Fulbrighters on their grant in the country, and engaging alumni.
Established in 1919 in the aftermath of World War I, theInstitute of International Educationwas created to catalyze educational exchange. In 1946, the U.S. Department of State invited IIE to administer the graduate student component and CIES[clarification needed]to administer the faculty component of the Fulbright Program—IIE's largest program to date.[25]
