Foreign Study Programmes
The Fulbright Programme
Since 1992 nearly 700 Ukrainian scholars, students, and young professionals have travelled to the United States for study or research as participants of the Fulbright Programme. At the same time more than 400 U.S. scholars and students have visited Ukraine to teach, consult with universities, and conduct research.
Established in 1946, the Fulbright Programme is the oldest and most prestigious international programme for exchange of scholars and students funded by the United States government. Today it supports academic exchanges with 155 countries of the world.
Through a Small Grants Programme, Ukrainian Fulbright alumni are able to receive support for conferences, seminars, round table 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. Expanding the Fulbright Programme in Ukraine is another important step towards integrating Ukraine into the international community of Fulbrighters.
