Congratulations to the eight scholars who were named as the 2019-2020 Fulbright Graduate Student Program grantees!

They will pursue master’s or doctoral studies, and doctoral dissertation research in the United States. From its inception, the Fulbright Program has fostered bilateral relationships in which citizens and governments of other countries work with the U.S. to set joint priorities and shape the program to meet shared needs. The world has been transformed in ensuing decades, but the fundamental principle of international partnership remains at the core of the Fulbright mission.
