The purpose of the Fulbright
Program is to promote "mutual understanding between the people
of the United States and the peoples of other countries." Established
in 1946 under legislation introduced by Senator J.
William Fulbright from Arkansas, the Fulbright Program currently operates
in 140 countries, including 51 countries with binational
Fulbright commissions such as the Austrian-American Educational Commission.
Since its inception, over 250,000 students, teachers, academics, and professionals
have participated in the Fulbright Program, including 5,000 citizens of
Austria and the U.S. who are alumni of the Austrian-American program.
Funded primarily by direct contributions from the governments of the United
States of America and the Republic of Austria, the Fulbright Program provides
grants for U.S. citizens, who are recent graduates and graduate students
or scholars and professionals, to study, teach, or pursue research in
Austria and for Austrian citizens to engage in similar activities in the
U.S.
