The Fulbright Association has 54 local chapters in 38 states across the U.S. that are led and managed by volunteer alumni who reside in the area. Chapters provide Fulbright alumni and visiting Fulbrighters with diverse opportunities for networking, professional development, mentoring, cultural enrichment, and community service.

Our members find that local chapters offer a supportive, collaborative community and a tangible way to extend the Fulbright experience. All members must be affiliated with a local chapter, but there is no obligation to attend chapter events. Upon registration, alumni may select the local chapter that they wish to join, or be assigned to the closest chapter to their home address.

Additionally, we have 8 online interest groups that correlate with various Fulbright countries. Our current groups are: India, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Norway, Spain, Taiwan, and Thailand.
