From March 13-14, 2024, Assistant Secretary of State for Educational and Cultural Affairs Lee Satterfield will travel to New Orleans to give remarks at the Fulbright Foreign Scholarship Board's 302nd Quarterly Meeting, hosted by Tulane University.
The Fulbright Foreign Scholarship Board consists of 12 presidentially appointed members who supervise the Fulbright Program and select participants both from the United States and abroad for Fulbright exchanges. The Fulbright Foreign Scholarship Board Chair, Donna Brazile, and Vice Chair, Michael Trager, lead quarterly meetings to enable Board members to receive program updates, discuss Fulbright Program policies, and meet program participants.
The Fulbright Program is the U.S. government's flagship international academic exchange program, and aims to increase mutual understanding and foster friendly, peaceful relations between the people of the United States and those of other countries. The program annually supports more than 8,000 students, scholars, artists, and professionals from the United States and more than 160 countries in their exchange.
