We are pleased to announce that 2021 marks the 75th Anniversary of the Fulbright Program!
Since the program’s inception in 1946, over 400,000 people from 160 countries have participated in the Fulbright Program, enriching their educations, advancing their careers, and making meaningful contributions abroad and at home.
Join the anniversary celebrations at www.fulbright75.org – a dedicated website which, throughout 2021, will feature stories, news, and events, recognizing the program’s history of positive impact on the lives of individuals as well as on global and local communities.
All Fulbright alumni are invited to celebrate #Fulbright75 by sharing your experiences with us, your local communities, and the world.
Alumni Stories
"My Fulbright visit at Rutgers has offered amazing opportunities not only to present my work in the area of Human-Animal Interactions to some of the faculties of Rutgers University and SSW students, but also to establish valuable connections for future collaborations."
"I did not get to give Columbia a proper farewell last Spring, but I will do it now as a new year begins, and as I continue to unpack lessons from my time here. I arrived at Columbia full of curiosity and academic naiveté. Now I’m leaving with a collection of lessons yet to be fully revealed and distilled."
"My time as a Fulbrighter was about so much more than the research I was honored to work on. It was about building lasting relationships, learning about Romanian culture, and sharing my experiences with friends."
Elizabeth Wiita U.S. Fulbright Student Researcher, 2019-2020
"The Fulbright Scholar Award gave me the unique opportunity to conduct research at the reputed Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism at the University of Southern California, and meet top scholars in communication and public diplomacy."
"The idea of experiencing one of the best education systems in the world (if not the best) could be quite overwhelming. But soon I realized that this is going to be a unique opportunity to learn as much as possible, to work like never before in my academic life. And I did just that."
"In all, I feel fulfilled despite a truncated Fulbright experience. Thankfully, I got a taste of all my goals, in some fashion, before the pandemic. And it’s only a matter of time before I come back to fully explore Romania and Europe, hand-in-hand with my fellow colleagues and friends."
