The German-American Fulbright program was originally developed by Senator J. Wiliam Fulbright, whose intention was to promote mutual bilateral understanding on an academic and cultural level.

Approximately 400 scholarships are awarded to German students, PhD, teachers and administrative staff each year. Scholarships include full and partial scholarships as well as travel grants.
