Since its inception in 1946 the Fulbright Scholarship
program has pursued its goals through the global exchange of persons,
knowledge and skill by awarding travel and study grants to graduate students
and scholars in over 140 countries. Candidates, chosen for their leadership
qualities participate in a myriad of educational activities from university
lecturing and advanced research to elementary and secondary teaching.
Given the opportunity to observe first hand the political, economical
and cultural institutions of their host countries, the participants return
home better equipped to partake in their own government and institution
building. To date 48,000 Americans and 158,000 foreign nationals have
taken part in the exchange programs.
San Diego State University
is home to a vibrant and diverse community of students and faculty. This
community is enhanced by the participation of its members in the Fulbright
program. Since 1993 thirty-eight SDSU faculty members have been honored
as grant recipients traveling to countries as far away as Morocco and
as near as Mexico . In addition, each semester our university is enriched
by Fulbright students and faculty from abroad who choose to study and
teach at SDSU through the Fulbright visiting scholar program.
