According to Ambassador Richard Hoagland, deputy chief of mission, Pakistan's Fulbright program is also one of the oldest in the world. "Our agreement initiating the program was signed on September 23, 1950 - and the first Pakistanis and Americans traveled each way in the same year. It was one of the very first agreements of its kind and has since been extended to 155 countries around the world."
Since then, nearly 4,000 Pakistanis and over 800 Americans have participated in USEFP administered exchange programs.
