"The Fulbright Program was established in 1946, at the end of World War II, to increase mutual understanding between the people of the United States and other countries, through the exchange of persons, knowledge, and skills. Its primary source of funding is an annual appropriation made by the United States Department of State. Participating governments and host institutions also contribute financial support through direct cost-sharing, as well as through tuition waivers, university housing, and other benefits."
Grants are made to citizens of participating countries, primarily for:
university teaching
advanced research
graduate study
teaching in elementary and secondary schools
Applications for graduate study are reviewed by the International Programs office.
