Building bridges
of mutual understanding

The United States-Sri Lanka Fulbright Commission (US-SLFC) was established by an Agreement signed by the U.S. and Sri Lankan governments in November 1952. We are an autonomous, bi-national, non-governmental commission promoting mutual understanding through academic, cultural, and professional exchanges. There are over 2,000 alumni of the US-SLFC who are at the highest levels of universities, business, government, NGOs, and artistic organizations. We also oversee EducationUSA which promotes study in American colleges and universities.
