"International education exchange is the most significant current project designed to continue the process of humanizing mankind to the point, we would hope, that nations can learn to live in peace"
--J. William Fulbright
Fulbright grants are made to U.S. citizens and nationals of other countries for a variety of educational activities, primarily university lecturing, advanced research, graduate study and teaching in elementary and secondary schools. Since the program’s inception, more than 273,500 participants—chosen for their leadership potential—have had the opportunity to observe each other’s political, economic and cultural institutions.Both U.S. and Visiting Fulbright Scholars lecture or conduct research in a wide variety of academic and professional fields ranging from journalism and urban planning to music, philosophy, business administration and zoology.  | The U.S. Fulbright Scholar Program sends 800 scholars and professionals each year to more than 150 countries, where they lecture or conduct research in a wide variety of academic and professional fields. | | The Visiting Fulbright Scholar Program awards grants to foreign scholars to come to the United States to lecture or conduct postdoctoral research. Nearly 800 scholars come annually for an academic year or term. | | Pre-Doctoral Fellowships are offered to U.S. and foreign graduate students and graduating seniors. Nearly 800 Americans are studying abroad with either full or partial support from the Fulbright Program. Similar awards are offered each year to foreign graduate students for support at U.S. universities. | | The Fulbright Teacher Exchange Program provides opportunities for mostly one-for-one exchanges between U.S. and foreign elementary, secondary and postsecondary teachers. | | The Hubert Humphrey Fellowship Program was established in 1979 to bring accomplished mid-career professionals from developing countries to the United States at a mid-point in their careers for a year of study and related professional experiences. Fellows are selected on the basis of their potential for national leadership in the fields of public administration and public policy analysis, public health, agricultural development and planning and resource management. | | The College and University Affiliations Program seeks to establish linkages between U.S. universities and institutions overseas through the exchange of faculty and staff. Begun as a pilot project in Africa in 1982, the program became worldwide in 1983. These linkages focus on the social sciences, humanities, business administration and the arts. Since the program's inception, over 350 institutional grants have been awarded. | | A portion of the Fulbright program, the Fulbright-Hays Foreign Area and Language Training Programs, is administered by the U.S. Department of Education’s Office of International Education and Graduate Programs. Funds are awarded to Americans individually or to U.S. institutions to support research and training efforts abroad focusing on non-western foreign languages and world area studies. |
