The Fulbright program was established to increase mutual understanding between the people of the United States and other countries through the exchange of people, knowledge and skills.

In 1945, Senator J.William Fulbright proposed a bill to use the proceeds from selling surplus U.S. government war property to fund international exchange between the U.S. and other countries. The bill was a plan to forgo the debts foreign countries had amassed during the war, in return for funding an international educational program.

Nowadays, the Fulbright Program provides 8,000 annual grants to undertake graduate study, advanced research, university lecturing, and classroom teaching. Since the program began, 300,000 people - 114,000 from the United States and 188,000 from other countries - have participated.

Fulbright grantees' fields of study span the fine arts, humanities, social sciences, mathematics, natural and physical sciences, and professional and applied sciences.
