The Fulbright Program was established in 1946 to increase mutual understanding between the people of the United States and other countries. It is the world’s largest and most diverse international educational exchange program, facilitating cultural exchange through direct interaction on an individual basis in the classroom, field, home, and in routine tasks. During their grants, Fulbrighters meet, work, live with, and learn from the people of the host country, sharing daily experiences.
Congratulations to all of the recipients. Interested in learning more about how to apply for a Fulbright award? Reach out to Meghan Niedt, mniedt@colgate.edu, in ONFS to schedule a meeting. We are happy to accommodate Zoom appointments if needed.
