he Fulbright Program is the largest educational exchange scholarship program in the world
operating in more than 155 countries. The Fulbright Foundation in Greece was established in
T1948 through a binational treaty between the United States and Greece. It is a non-profit, non-
political, autonomous educational organization which awards grants to both Greek and U.S.
citizens in almost every field and discipline. Since 1948, the Foundation has offered free advising
services for studies in the U.S. to thousands of individuals and has awarded grants to more than
5,500 Greek and U.S. citizens. The grants are in the form of financial stipends, which allow
students, scholars, teachers and artists to study, lecture, or conduct independent research in the
U.S. and Greece respectively. Grantees are selected on the basis of their academic excellence,
educational and professional achievement, civic engagement and leadership potential. Fulbright
alumni include Nobel and Pulitzer Prize winners, prime ministers, heads of state, professors,
scientists, ambassadors, artists, Supreme Court Justices and company presidents. The Foundation
through its Fulbright Educational Advising Center offers free, accurate, comprehensive, and
current information about accredited Colleges and Universities in the United States. 2018 marks
