The Fulbright Program was established more than 75 years ago to increase mutual understanding between the people of the United States and the people of other countries. Fulbright is the world鈥檚 largest and most diverse international educational exchange program. The primary source of funding for the Fulbright Program is an annual appropriation made by the U.S. Congress to the U.S. Department of State鈥檚 Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs.

鈥淲e congratulate the colleges and universities we are honoring as 2021鈥2022 Fulbright Top Producing Institutions. These institutions reflect the geographic and institutional diversity of higher education in the United States and include Minority-Serving Institutions,鈥 said Ethan Rosenzweig, deputy assistant secretary of state for academic programs in the U.S. Department of State鈥檚 Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs. 鈥淲e thank the leadership of these institutions for supporting their faculty advisers and administrators, who are instrumental in guiding their students through the Fulbright application process. We know that U.S. institutions benefit from having their students represent their campus overseas, which often fosters reciprocal exchanges that in turn help further internationalize U.S. campuses.鈥
