Alumni: A Binational Network of Agents of Change
Fulbright is a community for life. Since 1949, nearly 8,000 Egyptian and American Fulbrighters have crossed borders to study, teach and research — and returned home to lead, mentor and build. The alumni network keeps that exchange alive long after the grant ends.
