THE FIFTIETH ANNIVERSARY OF THE FULBRIGHT PROGRAM
The United States Information Agency is proud to announce its new web pages
for the commemoration of the 50th Anniversary of the Fulbright Program.
These pages have been placed on the web to show the scope and depth of the
program, which has sent more than 140,000 scholars across the globe.
Information includes a calendar of events, background and history (funding
for the first American scholars to China in the 40s came from the sale of
surplus war materials in Europe!), and includes listing
of some rather famous Fulbrighters. Anyone who was a Fulbrighter is also
encouraged to send in observations about his or her experiences. There are
also links to resources for persons interested in applying for a future
Fulbright grant.
