 | | The Fulbright program was named after the late Senator J. William Fulbright who introduced the legislation in the U.S. Congress in 1946 to fund educational exchanges between the U.S. and other countries. |
 | | Fulbright grants are given through open competition based on individual merit without regard to the individual's institutional affiliation, geographical location, race, color or creed. |
 | | Many of these Fulbrighters have eventually become leaders in their own countries; they have assumed top government positions, are university presidents, national artists, writers, journalists, scientists, corporate leaders, diplomats and teachers. |
