Its goal was and remains to increase the mutual understanding between people of the United States and Ukraine through scholarly and research exchanges.

Since the inception of the Fulbright Program in Ukraine, nearly 900 Ukrainian scholars, students, and professionals have travelled to the United States for research or study in U.S. institutions of higher education. During the same period, more than 530 U.S scholars, students, and professionals have participated in the Fulbright Program in Ukraine as university lecturers, researchers, and consultants. Fulbright alumni in the United States are active citizens and make up a significant lobby which doesn’t let the U.S. Congress forget about supporting educational programs. Funding for the Fulbright Program is designated every year by the U.S. Congress as part of the annual budget.
