The Mandate
The Binational Fulbright
Commission in Egypt was established in 1949, and is the oldest
and largest Fulbright program in the Arab world. Since 1949
nearly 5,000 scholars have been American Fulbrighters in Egypt
or Egyptian Fulbrighters in the United States. Now in its
sixth decade of operation, the Commission pursues an unchanged
mandate: to cultivate mutual understanding by nourishing mutual
educational exchange. And to do it one Fulbrighter at a time,
so that every Fulbrighter is better prepared to pursue what
Senator J. William Fulbright called the "essence of intercultural
education: empathy, the ability to see the world as others
see it, and to allow for the possibility that others may see
something we have failed to see…."
