Fulbright funding was not much, but it was crucial to being able to take trips to archives, to pay my rent, to eat—to live—while I was doing my research. I cannot imagine what I would have done if I got an email saying I suddenly wouldn’t get my funding in the middle of the year. #StandForFulbright

I got this email from the Fulbright Association, as well. This leaves so many scholars and students in a precarious state.
FA have asked us to amplify the #StandforFulbright campaign to resume and maintain funding. Fulbright is a pillar of citizen diplomacy and should be supported.

When I taught at the University of Jordan for two years on a Fulbright, I received no financial support from my home university. No sabbatical, no supplement.
I was entirely dependent on the modest State Department stipend. Without it, I would have had to leave.

As a Fulbright scholar, I represented the USA with pride, carrying out the idea that cultural exchange might help us all avoid wars while also advancing knowledge and the arts.
The Fulbright program might be small in the tally of our nation's losses, but it's another stick to fuel the burning pyre.
