Each year, the Arkansas Chapter of the Fulbright Association meets with Congressional and Senate staff to discuss the benefits of the Fulbright Scholar Exchange Program to improve international relations and to Arkansas. Arkansas scholars and students travel around the world on Fulbright Fellowships to teach and do research. Arkansas also attracts numerous foreign Fulbright Scholars to study and research at our universities. Funding for the Fulbright Scholar Exchange comes from the US government and foreign governments.
