60+ Years of Fulbright Program Success

This year, 45 Georgetown students will participate in the prestigious Fulbright international exchange program—an all-time record.

Established in 1946 through legislation introduced by Sen. J. William Fulbright, the program promotes intercultural understanding by enabling students to study and conduct research abroad. In Fulbright’s words, “Educational exchange can turn nations into people, contributing as no other form of communication can to the humanizing of international relations.”

Georgetown has consistently ranked among the top three producers of Fulbright scholars in recent years.
