The Fulbright Program was established over 75 years ago to increase mutual understanding between the people of the United States and the people of other countries and is the world鈥檚 largest and most diverse international educational exchange program. The primary source of funding for the Fulbright Program is an annual appropriation made by the U.S. Congress to the U.S. Department of State鈥檚 Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs.
Since its inception in 1946, over 400,000 people from all backgrounds鈥攔ecent university graduates, teachers, scientists and researchers, artists, and more鈥攈ave participated in the Fulbright Program and returned to their home countries with an expanded worldview, a deep appreciation for their host country and its people, and a new network of colleagues and friends.
Fulbright is active in more than 160 countries worldwide and partners with participating governments, host institutions, corporations, and foundations in foreign countries and in the United States. Many of these organizations also provide direct and indirect support. ECA sponsors the Fulbright program, and several non-profit, cooperative partners implement and support the program on the Bureau鈥檚 behalf. For more information about the Fulbright Program, visit .
