Support Fulbright Canada

We live in a world where information is abundant, but where knowledge and understanding are rare. It is a world where we are culturally rich, but not always attuned to the implications of our cultural diversity. Where our nations' talent must be nurtured and contribute to both domestic priorities and policy, and to the global challenges in which we play an important role.

As Americans and Canadians, we enjoy a free society and share important values. Our relationship as allies and neighbours is enriched by our mutual commitment to invest in our relationship, and to work together to help shape a more rational and civilized world.

Fulbright Canada (The Foundation for Educational Exchange between Canada and the United States of America) plays a critical role in that partnership. As a world-leading model for successful educational exchange, we focus our attention on a clear purpose ... to nurture the power of human knowledge that lies within our nations' most promising scholars, and to help direct that knowledge to nurture and support leaders who can contribute directly to solving the most pressing issues and questions of our time.

Fulbright Canada was established in 1990 as an integral part of the worldwide Fulbright Program. Led by the commitment and the vision of the two governments, and supported by investments made by universities and by key private sector partners, Fulbright Canada annually offers some $2 million dollars in scholarships, fellowships, and activities that support the most promising academic minds in our two countries.

In this, our 20th year, Fulbright Canada is at a transformative moment. Our Board of Directors has established an ambitious new plan for growth. Fulbright Canada aims to reach out to the business community, and to individuals, to complement the ongoing commitment of governments, to attract significant new private sector investment in order to double the number of awards and grow the size and scope of the programs that we offer.

You can help by working with us on a specific project or partnering with us on one of our core programs, or simply by making a gift to the Foundation. The opportunity exists to encourage our grantees in their attempt to engage with their local communities and strengthen the Canada - U.S relationship. We are a registered charitable organization (CRA registration 12946 2693 RR0010) and a 501(c)(3) organization.
