Fulbright Grant InformationThe Fulbright Program offers educational and cultural exchange opportunities to both U.S. citizens and citizens of other nations. Listed below are links to the many different programs that exist for scholars and professionals, students, primary and secondary school teachers, and Fulbright alumni. The Fulbright Program’s core funding comes from annual appropriations by the United States Congress. Governments of a number of other countries also contribute direct financial and in-kind support, as does the private sector. Fulbright exchanges are U.S. government programs administered through the Department of State's Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs and the Department of Education's Office of Postsecondary Education. They are governed by policies and procedures established by the J. William Fulbright Foreign Scholarship Board.
