The Fulbright Program

APR 01, 1951
A Report from Washington
Dwight E. Gray

During the academic year 1950–51, over 200 United States citizens in the general category of “lecturers and research scholars” have been pursuing educational activities of various kinds in foreign countries as a result of having received Fulbright awards. At the same time approximately an equal number of foreign nationals have been assisted by Fulbright travel grants in carrying on lecturing and research in the United States. The purpose of this article is to describe the organization and operation of the Fulbright Award Program with special emphasis on those phases which may have particular interest for physicists.
