This grant was made possible by The Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs (ECA) of the U.S. Department of State and administered by the Fulbright Commission in Jordan.

The purpose of these grants is to strengthen the role of Fulbright Jordan alumni (Jordanian and American), increase their impact as active community members, and enhance their engagement as alumni through community service projects related to their original Fulbright grant field.
