Welcome to Fulbright
Ecuador
The Fulbright Program is a world leader in
international educational exchanges. The mission
of the program is to increase mutual
understanding between the people of the United
States and the people of other countries through
educational exchange. |
 |
The Fulbright
Program was established in 1946 under legislation
introduced by Arkansas Senator, J.
William Fulbright. Since its inception more than
fifty years ago 255,000 "Fulbrighters," 96,400
from the United States and 158,600 from other countries,
have participated in the Program. The Fulbright Program
awards approximately 4,500 new grants annually.
 |
The Fulbright Program was
established in Ecuador in 1956 through an
executive agreement between the governments of
the United States and Ecuador to increase
cultural understanding through educational
programs. The binational Commission has a Board of Directors comprised of
eight members, four North Americans and four
Ecuadorians, charged with the responsibility of
overseeing the long-term objectives of the
Fulbright Program. Approximately 1,481 Ecuadorian citizens and 830 U.S. citizens have become
Fulbrighters since 1956 through the program in
Ecuador. |
In 2005,
approximately 25 Ecuadorian citizens and 18 U.S. citizens
will be joining the group of Fulbrighters who have worked
towards the development and progress of Ecuador.
Being a Fulbright
grantee is a life changing experience. The Fulbright
Program is not for everyone; it is only for those who are
willing to take the challenge of becoming leaders of the
new era. We invite you to join the Fulbright
Experience!!!
