Fulbright - Jordan

About the organization

The Jordanian-American Commission for Educational Exchange, also known as the Fulbright Commission in Jordan, was established under a bilateral agreement signed in May 1993 between the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan and the United States. The commission receives annual funding from both governments and operates as an independent, binational, and non-profit organization. A binational board of four Jordanians and four Americans oversees its operations, with the Jordanian Minister of Foreign Affairs and the U.S. Ambassador serving as honorary co-chairs. The Fulbright Program in Jordan promotes educational and cultural exchange by offering competitive scholarships and fellowships to Jordanian and American students, teachers, and researchers to study, teach, and conduct research in each other’s countries. Selection is based on merit and a competitive application process.
