Celebrate the values of international exchange, collaboration, and service at the awarding of the prestigious Fulbright Prize for International Understanding.
The Prize holds that understanding built on immersive travel and education is a prerequisite to partnerships in diplomacy, commerce, and trade. By underscoring the necessity of cultural understanding for effective cross-border cooperation, the Fulbright Prize shows that if we work together internationally, we can meet the world’s challenges.
