The Fulbright Program

Connecting People. Connecting Nations.

The Fulbright Program is the U.S. government’s flagship international educational and cultural exchange program, creating connections in a complex and changing world.

Led by the U.S. government in partnership with 160 countries worldwide, Fulbright offers programs for passionate and accomplished students, scholars, teachers, artists, and professionals of all backgrounds to study, teach, and conduct research, helping to build mutual understanding and find solutions to critical international concerns. Fulbrighters enrich their educations, advance their careers, and make meaningful contributions to communities abroad and at home. As Fulbrighters, they join a network of thousands of alumni serving as leaders across the globe.

One connection at a time, Fulbright brings people together and moves nations towards a more peaceful world.

“The Fulbright Program aims to bring a little more knowledge, a little more reason, and a little more compassion into world affairs.”

Senator J. William Fulbright

In Romania, the Fulbright Program has been present since 1960, bringing durable changes on Romania’s path to progress and democratization, and profoundly influencing lives and professional careers, communities at large. Since 1960, over 3500 Romanians and Americans participated in these exchanges, benefiting from funding for graduate studies, research, teaching and cultural exchanges in general.

The Romanian-U.S. Fulbright Commission was inaugurated in May 1993 with the support of the American and Romanian Governments, following the bilateral agreement between the U.S. Department of State and the Romanian Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

The activities of the Commission are carried out in virtue of Law No. 50/2014 and supervised by its Board of Directors. Our main objective is to “increase mutual understanding between the peoples of the United States of America and Romania through planning, administration and execution of a program of educational exchange.

Board of Directors

The Romanian-U.S. Fulbright Commission’s Board of Directors is a bi-national body with planning
and coordinating responsibilities. The Board has 10 members appointed by the U.S. and Romanian
