www.fulbright.be - The Fulbright Program, the US government's flagship program in international educational exchange, was proposed to the US Congress in 1945 by then freshman Senator J. William Fulbright of Arkansas. In the aftermath of World War II, Senator Fulbright viewed the proposed program as a much-needed vehicle for promoting "mutual understanding between the people of the United States and the people of other countries of the world." His vision was approved by Congress and the program signed into law by President Truman in 1946.

Most Malaysians shy away from applying for the Fulbright program because of it's prestigious image, a recent interview with MACCE Executive Director Dr. James Coffman shed a kind light over the whole selections process. Dr. Coffman reiterated that MACEE is not only looking for applicants with spotless academic record. As a matter of fact, they are are looking for individuals with passion, dynamism and character. People who are inspirational and leaders in their own right, having a good sense of areas of studies they intend to pursue and how best it may contribute to their professional development are encouraged to apply. He stressed that there has to be a sense of balance about the candidate; he or she needs to have strong sense of purpose and be able to carry themselves well enough to represent Malaysia. Mr. Coffman invalidated the myth that the Fulbright program is exclusively for the Ivy league. As a matter of fact, those interested in the Arts, speech therapy, political science, voice measurements, psychology, behavioral science, dance, photo-journalism, teaching and HIV/AIDS policy and prevention may apply.
