History of US-SLFC

The United States-Sri Lanka Fulbright Commission (US-SLFC) was established by an Agreement signed by the U.S. and Sri Lankan governments on November 17, 1952. We are an autonomous, bi-national, non-political, 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.

At the 70^th Anniversary Celebration US-SLFC, we were graced with Sri Lankan President Ranil Wickremesinghe and U.S. Ambassador to Sri Lanka Julie Chung. Many Fulbright alumni attended, as well as dignitaries from America and Sri Lanka.
