The Fulbright Scholarship for foreign students is a two-year study program at one of the U.S. universities, and it is sponsored by the U.S. State Department.

On May 13 at the Administration Building of AUI-S, there was a lecture about this program, and the AUI-S students became more familiar with the program.

R. Madison Conoley, the Public Diplomacy Section Chief of the U.S. Regional Reconstruction team, and Sara Mercado, the Public Diplomacy Officer of the RRT of the Kurdistan region of Iraq, explained the Fulbright program for the AUI-S students.

The Fulbright program creates both the educational and cultural exchanges between the United States and other countries.
