This academic year marks 70 years of Fulbright in the Netherlands. The first eight Dutch Fulbright students and scholars set sail to study in the United States for academic year 1949 -1950. Through all of our programs in academic year 2019-2020 we sent nearly 70 Dutch students and scholars to the United States and welcomed nearly 50 American students, scholars, and teachers to the Netherlands.

We hope you will join us in celebrating this milestone!

We are pleased to have Fulbright alumna, scholar, educator, and writer Gloria Wekker as our keynote speaker. She will commemorate this occasion togehter with fellow alumni and current Fulbrighters, illuminating why learning alongside one another to promote mutual understanding matters as much in 2020 as it did in 1950.
