Study in the United States

Fulbright Program

The flagship international educational program sponsored by the United States Government, the Fulbright Program is designed to "increase mutual understanding between the people of the United States and the people of other countries..." With this goal, the Fulbright Program has provided approximately 275,000 participants - chosen for their academic merit and leadership potential - with the opportunity to observe each others' political, economic, educational and cultural institutions, to exchange ideas and to embark on joint ventures of importance to the general welfare of the world's inhabitants.

To date, 488 Hondurans have participated in the Fulbright Program: Graduate Students, Scholars and Professionals, Researchers, and Teachers and Administrators.
