The Fulbright Prize for International Understanding honors the world’s most prestigious international exchange program, as well as the legacy of its creator, the late Senator J. William Fulbright.
Since 1993, the Prize has recognized outstanding contributions to promoting peace through greater understanding among peoples, cultures, and nations. The Prize, which includes a US$50,000 award, is presented at a ceremony where the Laureate gives an address.
The Prize has a distinguished history of Laureates, among them Nelson Mandela, Jimmy Carter, Desmond Tutu, Bill Clinton, Vaclav Havel, Corazon Aquino, Mary Robinson, Doctors without Borders, Bill and Melinda Gates, and Angela Merkel.
As the Association’s most important fundraiser, event sponsorships and donations provide critical support to the Fulbright Association’s programs in education, advocacy, and public service, including outreach to under-represented communities.
The Prize also directly benefits the charitable priority of the Laureate. This year, Bono will be donating his $50,000 award to ONE and (RED).
The Fulbright Association offers partners and sponsors an extraordinary opportunity to associate your name and brand with a world class event, the awarding of the Fulbright Prize to Bono! You would also be aligned with the world’s most prestigious and respected educational exchange program.
This year, we are saving two seats at every table for recent and visiting Fulbrighters. This amazing experience provides a young Fulbrighter, who is nominated by their host Institution, the opportunity to exchange ideas and experiences with key attendees.

Your well-being is our #1 priority. The Fulbright Association is committed to providing a safe, productive, and welcoming environment in which guests are expected to abide by all polices in effect for the event. We are actively tracking the emerging news and science around the new Omicron variant and will continue to monitor and adjust our plans and health protocols as necessary.
Here is what we are doing to protect your health and peace of mind so you can fully enjoy your time at the Fulbright Prize.
To promote the safety of all attendees, you must be fully vaccinated against COVID-19.”Full vaccination” means that either 14 days have passed since receiving the second dose of FDA or WHO authorized (or emergency use authorized) double-dozed vaccines or single-dose vaccine. We strongly encourage all attendees who are eligible to receive the COVID-19 Booster in addition to being fully vaccinated.
All guests must provide proof of full vaccination against COVID-19 (electronic or physical copy to be shown upon check-in) and a valid photo ID. A list of approved vaccinations by the World Health Organization (WHO) can be found here.
If you are unable to meet this requirement, we encourage you to register to attend the live-streamed event, which will begin at 6:00 PM Eastern Daylight Time.
All participants will be required to wear masks in the venue and during the event. Masks must be worn at all times except while actively eating/drinking or outside of the hotel. Masks must cover both the mouth and nose.
We will continue to monitor and update safety precautions and recommendations from the Center for Disease Control (CDC), the District of Columbia, and the Omni Shoreham hotel.
The Omni Hotel is committed to cleaning, sanitizing, and disinfecting procedures, including recommendations from the CDC and EPA. Read the Omni’s full Safe & Clean Program here.
We reserve the right to modify these policies and procedures at any time given the rapidly changing nature of the current global pandemic.
We are so grateful for the support of our corporate partners, Institutions, and donors, who are committed to international education and mutual understanding.
You provide critical support to the Fulbright Association’s programs in education, advocacy, and public service, including outreach to under-represented communities.
Your support also directly benefits the charitable priority of the Laureate, which will be ONE and (RED).
