In these uncertain times, it may be helpful to remember that throughout its 75-year history, the Fulbright Program has persisted despite myriad challenges.  In that spirit, the sponsors of the Fulbright Program, including the U.S. Department of State, the Fulbright Foundation and our cooperating agencies in the United States are working in collaboration to ensure the Fulbright Program operates successfully in the 2020-21 and 2021-2022 academic years.

Since the outbreak of the pandemic, Fulbright has responded to the new challenges.
