Fulbright Program
The U.S. Department of State’s Fulbright Program exemplifies the important role universities can play in public diplomacy. Established in 1946, the Program was the brainchild of Senator J. William Fulbright, who believed that educational exchange opportunities expanded ties between nations and encouraged cooperative solutions to global problems. In the nearly sixty years since it began, over 80,000 scholars from 140 nations have participated in Fulbright Scholar Programs. For more information on Fulbright opportunities, please visit here.
Emory is proud of the many student and faculty members who have participated in Fulbright programs over the years and highly encourages others who are interested to apply. The University has a great track record; every faculty member who has applied for a grant in the last five years has been awarded one. Please take a moment to browse through the directory of Emory Fulbrighters. They can serve as excellent sources of information and advice on applying for grants.
