Apart from the programs listed above, in the past, American Councils also administered the Fulbright Program, the Junior Faculty Development Program, the Regional Scholars Exchange Program, The Edmund S. Muskie Graduate Fellowship Program and the FSA Undergraduate Exchange Program. Work with participants does not end after participants complete their program in the US.
