Fulbright Scholar Program

I received an email today letting me know that applications are open for the Fulbright Programs.

The Fulbright Program, sponsored by the U.S. Department of State’s
Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs, is the U.S. government’s
flagship international exchange program and is supported by the people
of the United States and partner countries around the world. Since 1946,
the Fulbright Program has provided more than 286,000 participants from
over 155 countries with the opportunity to study, teach and conduct
research, to exchange ideas and contribute to finding solutions to
shared international concerns. For more information, visit
