December 4, 2008 - The U.S. Embassy is adding a new element to the flagship U.S. Fulbright international educational exchange program.
In consultation with the business community in Hungary and with international foundations, we are endeavoring to make the Fulbright program more relevant to the needs of today's Hungarian economy. We are going to the business community in Hungary in order to raise funds for this program that will try to accomplish the following: 1) send more Hungarians to the USA for higher education; 2) give companies and individuals who are interested in donating to the program a say in what fields of study will be pursued; 3) give companies in Hungary a chance to demonstrate good corporate responsibility by giving something of value back to the community that will benefit Hungary.

If you are interested in knowing more about how to donate funds to this program, please contact: the Office of Public Affairs at the U.S. Embassy. 475-4292
