Friends of Fulbright: Connecting Education and Internationalization

We are the strategy of the Fulbright Commission Colombia that seeks to generate support for scholarships from the Commission.

We develop donation and fundraising strategies that enable us to support the financing of scholarships for Colombians who wish to pursue master’s and doctoral degrees in the United States through the Fulbright Commission Colombia. We manage resources and strategies in Colombia and abroad that support the mission of Fulbright Colombia.

Further information about the Commission and its scholarships can be found HERE.
