The danish-american
fulbright commission

The Danish-American Fulbright Commission is based on the ideas of J. William Fulbright, American Senator. The program’s main objective is to promote friendship and understanding between the USA and other nations. The Commission is established by executive agreement between the United States and Denmark. The Danish-American Fulbright Commission is funded by the governments of the United States and Denmark. The Commission in Copenhagen decides on the final allocation of the funds, on the priority areas in its grant program, on the types of grants to be awarded, and on the selection of the Danish and American candidates for its programs. The candidates – Danes and Americans – selected by the Danish Commission are subject to final approval by the J. William Fulbright Foreign Scholarship Board, Washington, D.C.
