Abstract
Editor’s Note. The year 2011 marks the 65th anniversary of America’s preeminent international educational exchange program, the Fulbright Scholar Program. In recognition of the international impact of this program, the Journal of Public Affairs Education is publishing a series of first-person accounts of the Fulbright experiences of our colleagues. To provide perspective for this series, this paper provides background about the program and examines patterns in U. S. Fulbright Scholar awards over the past 5 years.
