Advisory Bodies
The Council for International Exchange of Scholars (CIES) was founded as a non-profit organization in 1947 and administered the Fulbright Scholar Program on behalf of the U.S. Department of State, Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs (ECA). In 1996, administration of the Fulbright Scholar Program transferred to the Institute of International Education (IIE), while the Fulbright Scholar Advisory Board (CIES) continued as an independent body providing valuable guidance on the administration and future trajectory of the program. The Fulbright Scholar Advisory Board (CIES) is composed of higher education experts from a variety of colleges, universities, and institutions dedicated to furthering international education and multicultural understanding.
