Background
The Fulbright Program was established in 1946 under legislation introduced by former Senator J. William Fulbright of Arkansas. Approximately 300,000 "Fulbrighters" have participated in the programme since its inception more than 50 years ago. Currently operating in 155 countries, including 51 countries with bi-national Fulbright Commissions and Foundations, the Fulbright Program awards approximately 8,000 new grants annually. Fulbright Alumni include Nobel and Pulitzer Prize winners, governors and senators, ambassadors and artists, prime ministers and heads of state, professors and scientists, Supreme Court Justices, and CEOs. The primary source of funding for the Fulbright Program is an annual appropriation by the United States Congress. Foreign governments and private organisations contribute through cost-sharing and indirect support, such as salary supplements, tuition waivers, university housing, etc. The Fulbright Program is sponsored by the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs of the United States Department of State under policy guidelines established by the J. William Fulbright Foreign Scholarship Board. The board is a presidentially-appointed, independent body that formulates the policies, procedures, and selection criteria which govern the Fulbright Program. A number of private, co-operating organisations also assist with the administration of the Program. Non-US citizens interested in applying for a Fulbright grant should contact the Fulbright Commission in their own country.
Studying in Slovenia
The Fulbright Program is co-sponsored by the Slovene Government. Annually, 6 to 8 students from the United States coming to study in Slovenia receive Fulbright funding, and almost the same number of students from Slovenia go to study in the United States. Opportunities for students from the U.S. coming to study or conduct a research project are classified within study and scholar categories. Full-year awards are available for students who would carry out either independent or a Ph.D. dissertation research, including the fields of social sciences and humanities. Lecturer or research grants and Specialist grants are offered for U.S.-based faculty and professionals with support provided by Slovene host institutions. Further contact information and matters about living arrangements are available at the Embassy of the United States of America in Slovenia and at the Slovene Human Resources Development and Scholarship Fund.
