The Fulbright Program was started with the purpose of promoting mutual understanding and cultural exchange between the United States and other countries. It was established shortly after World War II, in 1946, by Senator J. William Fulbright as a way to foster peace and diplomacy through educational and cultural exchange. The program aims to provide opportunities for students, scholars, and professionals from around the world to study, teach, and conduct research in the United States, while also sending American citizens abroad to do the same. The ultimate goal is to build lasting connections and promote cross-cultural collaboration and understanding.
