About the Fulbright Program
The Fulbright Program was established by the U.S. Congress in 1946 "to increase mutual understanding between the people of the U.S. and the people of other countries." Named for its sponsor, the late Senator J. William Fulbright, the Fulbright Program is the U.S. government's premier international educational exchange vehicle. Grants are awarded on the basis of academic merit and professional promise to U.S. students, teachers, and scholars, as well as to foreign citizens, to study, teach, lecture, and conduct research.
Fulbright Student and Scholar Enrichment Programs
Metro International is the officially designated coordinator of Fulbright student and scholar enrichment programs in the NYC area. Metro creates opportunities for Fulbright grantees to meet New Yorkers, explore "behind the scenes" in American institutions and local neighborhoods, and learn about aspects of U.S. culture and society they might not otherwise encounter. Our mission is to make sure that Fulbrighters have more than simply an academic experience in the U.S.!
