Overview
The Fulbright Exchange Program was established by the U.S. Government in 1946 under the sponsorship of legislation and Arkansas Senator J. William Fulbright. Fulbright Postgraduate Scholarships provide an opportunity for students from other countries, to undertake studies to obtain master's degrees and doctorates in some cases, for a period not exceeding two years. The candidates applying for a PhD, must be obtained from other sources and demonstrate that they have the necessary funds for the remaining two or three years of their curriculum. No persons shall be deemed to have enjoyed a Fulbright scholarship before.
