William Fulbright]]]] The '''Fulbright Program''', including the '''Fulbright-Hays Program''', is a program of competitive, merit-based [[Grant (money)|grants]] for international educational exchange for students, scholars, teachers, professionals, scientists and artists, founded by [[United States Senator]] [[J. William Fulbright]] in 1946. Under the Fulbright Program, U.S. citizens are eligible to go abroad, and non-U.S. citizens are eligible to come to the United States. The Fulbright Program is one of the most prestigious awards programs worldwide, operating in over 155 countries.<ref name="Fulbright Program Fact Sheet">{{cite web |title=Fulbright Program Fact Sheet |publisher=U.S. Department of State |url=http://fulbright.state.gov/collateral/fact-sheets/fulbright-fact-sheet.pdf}}</ref> Forty-three Fulbright alumni have won Nobel Prizes (including two in 2010, [[Peter Diamond (economist)|Peter A.

The Fulbright Program provides 8,000 grants annually to undertake graduate study, advanced research, university lecturing, and classroom teaching. The program is active in over 155 countries in all world regions. As of 2010, 300,000 persons - 114,000 from the United States and 188,000 from other countries - have participated in the program since it began. In each of 50 countries, a bi-national Fulbright Commission administers and oversees the Fulbright Program. In countries without a Fulbright Commission but that have an active program, the Public Affairs Section of the U.S. Embassy oversees the Fulbright Program. The U.S. Department of State's [[Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs]] sponsors the Fulbright Program from an annual appropriation from the U.S. Congress. Additional direct and in-kind support comes from partner governments, foundations, corporations, and host institutions both in and outside the U.S.<ref name="Fulbright Program Fact Sheet"/> == History == {{quote|The Fulbright Program aims to bring a little more knowledge, a little more reason, and a little more compassion into world affairs and thereby increase the chance that nations will learn at last to live in peace and friendship.<ref> {{cite web |title=Fulbright Sweden |year=2010 |url=http://www.fulbright.se/ |accessdate=2010-12-27}}</ref>|Senator [[J. William Fulbright]]}} In 1945, Senator J.William Fulbright proposed a bill to use the proceeds from selling surplus U.S. government war property to fund international exchange between the U.S. and other countries. With the crucial timing of the aftermath of the Second War and with the pressing establishment of the United Nations, the Fulbright Program was a solution in promoting peace and understanding through educational exchange. The bill devised a plan to forgo the debts foreign countries amassed during the war and in return for funding an international educational program. It was through the belief that this program would be an essential vehicle to promote peace and mutual understanding between individuals, institutions and future leaders wherever they may be.<ref name="Fulbright: The Early Years">{{cite web |title=Fulbright: The Early Years |publisher=U.S. Department of State |url=http://fulbright.state.gov/history/fulbright-the-early-years}}</ref> {{quote|If we do not want to die together in war, we have to learn to live together in peace.<ref>http://www.ibiblio.org/pha/policy/1945/450425a.html</ref>|President [[Harry S.

Since it began, the program has operated on a bi-national basis; each country active in the Fulbright Program has entered into an agreement with the U.S. government. The first countries to sign agreements were China in 1947 and Burma, the Philippines and Greece in 1948.<ref name="Fulbright: The Early Years"/> == The Program == {{quote|Educational exchange can turn nations into people, contributing as no other form of communication can to the humanizing of international relations.<ref> http://us.fulbrightonline.org/overview.html</ref>|Senator [[J.
