Fulbright scholarship
Educational grant under an international exchange program created to increase understanding between the U.S. and other countries. The program was conceived by U.S. Sen. J. William Fulbright and instituted by the Fulbright Act of 1946. A complementary program for seminars abroad was established through the Fulbright-Hays Act of 1961. Most Fulbright Program participants are graduate students, but teachers, advanced researchers, trainees, and observers may also qualify. The program is administered by the U.S. Department of State.
