The program was founded in 1946 by the U.S. Congress "to provide the Government of the United States the opportunity to improve mutual understanding between the United States and the people of other countries". The project is awarded annually to approximately 6,000 grants totaling more than $ 250 million. Grants are available to students, teachers, specialists and scientists of United States and other countries for study, teaching, research and lecturing in America and 150 countries.
