"The Fulbright Program aims to bring a little more knowledge, a little more reason, and a little more compassion into world affairs, and thereby to increase the chance that nations will learn at last to live in peace and friendship." – J. William Fulbright
Since the program began in 1946, more than 380,000 Fulbrighters have participated in the Fulbright Program coming from and going to more than 160 countries: https://eca.state.gov/fulbright/fulbright-alumni
