Congress created the Fulbright Program in 1946 to foster mutual understanding among nations through educational and cultural exchanges. Senator J. William Fulbright, sponsor of the legislation, viewed scholarship as an alternative to armed conflict. Today, the Fulbright Program - the federal government's premier scholarship program, funded by an annual Congressional appropriation and contributions from other participating countries - allows Americans to study or conduct research in more than 100 nations.
