Established in 1946, the Fulbright Program is the oldest and most prestigious international program for exchange of scholars and students funded by the United States government. Today it supports academic exchanges with 155 countries of the world.

Since 1992 nearly 700 Ukrainian students, young faculty, and senior scholars have completed academic research or study in the United States, and more than 400 Americans were involved in scholarly work and teaching in Ukraine.

Alumni of Ukrainian Fulbright programs established an alumni association in 1999.  The Ukrainian Fulbright Association and its members play an active role in Ukraine’s intellectual and civic communities, developing and sustaining academic and educational programs at institutions of higher education throughout Ukraine.  Through a Small Grants Program, Ukrainian Fulbright alumni are able to receive support for conferences, seminars, roundtable discussions, and other programs which they organize; for participation in academic events in Ukraine and around the world; and for publishing individual research as articles or monographs.
