Fulbright Scholarship
Jazz musicians who received the Fulbright Scholarship: list of 5 recipients by year.
The Fulbright Program, including the Fulbright–Hays Program, is one of several United States cultural exchange programs with the goal of improving intercultural relations, cultural diplomacy, and intercultural competence between the people of the United States and other countries through the mutual exchange of persons, knowledge, and skills. The program was founded by United States senator J. William Fulbright in 1946, and has been considered to be one of the most prestigious scholarships in the United States. The program allows both competitively selected American citizens (including students, scholars, teachers, professionals, scientists, and artists) to receive scholarships or grants to study, conduct research, teach, or exercise their talents abroad; and citizens of other countries to do the same in the United States. The program provides approximately 8,000 grants annually, comprising roughly 1,600 grants to U.S.
