The Fulbright Program was established in [[established::1946]] under legislation introduced by former Senator J. William Fulbright of Arkansas. Approximately 300,000 ‘Fulbrighters’ have participated in the Program since its inception more than 50 years ago. The Fulbright Program awards approximately 8,000 new grants annually. Fulbright Alumni include Nobel and Pulitzer Prize winners, governors and senators, ambassadors and artists, prime ministers and heads of state, professors and scientists, Supreme Court Justices, and CEOs. The primary source of funding for the Fulbright Program is an annual appropriation by the United States Congress. Foreign governments and private organisations contribute through cost-sharing and indirect support, such as salary supplements, tuition waivers, university housing, etc. The Fulbright Program is sponsored by the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs of the United States Department of State under policy guidelines established by the J. William Fulbright Foreign Scholarship Board. The Board is a presidentially-appointed, independent body that formulates the policies, procedures, and selection criteria which govern the Fulbright Program. Currently, the Program operates in 155 countries, including 51 countries with binational Fulbright Commissions and Foundations. A number of private, co-operating organisations also assist with the administration of the Program. Non-US citizens interested in applying for a Fulbright grant should contact the Fulbright Commission in their own country. | The Fulbright Program was established in [[established::1946]] under legislation introduced by former Senator J.
