BACKGROUND

The Fulbright Program is an international academic exchange program founded in 1946 with an ambitious goal — to increase mutual understanding and support friendly and peaceful relations between the people of the United States and the people of other countries. Today, the U.S. government oversees an extensive suite of fellowships and scholarships in partnership with more than 160 countries worldwide, including Thailand.

With a bilateral agreement between the governments of Thailand and the United States, the Fulbright Program was established on July 1, 1950, and registered as the Thailand-United States Educational Foundation (TUSEF) or Fulbright Thailand. The TUSEF promotes and oversees academic and scholarly exchanges of Fulbright programs between Thailand and the United States under the direction of the binational Board of Directors. The Fulbright Thailand manages over 13 degree and non-degree programs for Thais and Americans each year.
