Subject: Fulbright Scholarships' 50th Anniversary
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.
