The Office of Research is sponsoring two Fulbright Program information sessions for faculty, staff and Ph.D. students close to graduation on Wednesday, May 12. A separate information session for the Fulbright U.S. Student Program, coordinated by the Center for Fellowship and Scholarship Advising, is being held on Thursday, May 13. This session is open to undergraduates, recent graduates and current graduate students.
The Fulbright Program is the most widely recognized and prestigious international exchange program in the world, supported for more than 50 years by an annual appropriation from the U.S. Congress and the people of partner nations. The program actively seeks out individuals of achievement and potential who represent the full diversity of their respective societies and selects nominees through open, merit-based competitions.
The program is sponsored by the U.S. Department of State’s Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs. It awards approximately 8,000 grants annually. Roughly 1,600 U.S. students, 4,000 foreign students, 1,200 U.S. scholars, and 900 visiting scholars receive awards, in addition to several hundred teachers and professionals. More than 400,000 “Fulbrighters” have participated in the program since its inception in 1946. Currently, the Fulbright Program operates in over 160 countries worldwide.
