The Fulbright Program, which includes the Fulbright–Hays Program, is one of several United States Cultural Exchange Programs aimed at improving intercultural relations, cultural diplomacy, and intercultural competence between Americans and people from other countries through the exchange of people, knowledge, and skills. Competitively selected American citizens, such as students, scholars, teachers, professionals, scientists, and artists, may receive scholarships or grants through the programme to 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 programme was founded in 1946 by United States Senator J. William Fulbright and is widely regarded as one of the most prestigious scholarships in the world. The programme awards approximately 8,000 grants per year, with roughly 1,600 going to US students, 1,200 going to US scholars, 4,000 going to foreign students, 900 going to foreign visiting scholars, and several hundred going to teachers and professionals.
The Fulbright Program is administered by cooperating organisations such as the Institute of International Education and is available in more than 160 countries worldwide. The Fulbright Program is sponsored by the United States Department of State’s Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs and is funded by the United States Congress through annual appropriation bills.
Additional direct and in-kind assistance is provided by partner governments, foundations, corporations, and host institutions both within and outside the United States. A bi-national Fulbright Commission administers and oversees this Program in 49 countries. In countries where there is an active programme but no Fulbright Commission, the this Program is overseen by the Public Affairs Section of the US Embassy. Since its inception, more than 370,000 people have participated in the programme; 60 Fulbright alumni have received Nobel Prizes, and 88 have received Pulitzer Prizes.
