More About the Fulbright Program

  • The Fulbright Program was established in 1946 under legislation introduced by former Senator J. William Fulbright of Arkansas. It is administered by the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs of the United States Department of State.
  • The Fulbright Teacher and Administrator Exchange Program is just one of the Fulbright Program offerings. Every year, it involves exchanges of more than 230 administrators and teachers from K-12 schools, community colleges, and four-year institutions. It operates in about 30 countries worldwide.
  • The goals of the Program include deepening professional and academic knowledge, developing professional and personal ties, and broadening one's perspective by living in another culture for an extended period of time.
