Word Format ]
To increase the grant opportunities for U.S. and
Argentine citizens and take full advantage of its
operational resources both in Argentina and in the
U.S., the Fulbright Program in Argentina created the
Cooperation Agreements on the basis of shared funding
and similar goals. Cooperation agreements have allowed
the Fulbright Program to increase the number of grants
to be offered annually.
The Fulbright Commission and its counterpart sign
an agreement, which regulates their relationship.
The agreement will include the number of grants to
be offered, grant priority areas, candidates' selection
process and criteria, each party's responsibilities,
etc.
The Fulbright Commission will be responsible for
obtaining tuition waiver at U.S. universities, for
providing grantees with health insurance, and for
university fees. The Commission will also advise the
grantees and the sponsoring institution regarding
the program's operation. Lastly, the Commission will
be in charge of student orientation and will complete
the grantees' follow-ups. The Commission's counterpart
will be responsible for paying grantees' maintenance
and roundtrip airfare.
Since 1994, the Commission has signed agreements
with institutions of higher education, government
agencies, and with private organizations. Through
these agreements, it was possible to facilitate the
training at U.S. universities of thousands of individuals
studying within highly varied fields, from basic sciences
to humanities and the arts.
