The Fulbright Program
The Fulbright Program is the flagship international educational exchange program sponsored by the U.S. government and is designed to increase mutual understanding between the people of the United States and the people of other countries. The Program was established in 1946 under legislation introduced by Senator J. William Fulbright and is sponsored by the United States Department of State’s Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs (ECA). More than 370,000 “Fulbrighters” have participated in the Program since its inception more than seventy years ago. The Fulbright Program awards approximately 8,000 grants annually. Currently, the Fulbright Program operates in over 160 countries worldwide.
The Bilateral Fulbright Program with Spain
The Fulbright Program offers grants to Spain for U.S. citizens. U.S. students and young professionals may apply for a grant to pursue independent research in Spain, while U.S. scholars may teach or research in Spain through Fulbright. In addition, U.S. scholars are eligible to apply for the Fulbright Specialist Program and U.S. students are eligible to apply for the Fulbright English Teaching Assistant (ETA) Program. This year, 140 young and enthusiast U.S. citizens are coming to Spain under the Fulbright Program.
