Fulbright Fellowships
The United States Congress, with the aid of Senator J. William Fulbright created the Fulbright program in 1946 following the end of WWII. The purpose of the Fulbright Awards Program is to increase mutual understanding between the people of the U.S. and other countries through the exchange of persons, knowledge, and skills, and to provide U.S. students with the opportunity for professional development and international experience.
