_____________________________________________
The Fulbright educational exchange and the Hubert H. Humphrey program have been active in
Indonesia since 1952 and 1979 respectively, with hundreds of notables from Indonesia’s academic
community and key figures from the governmental, private and cultural sectors having traveled and
studied in the United States. The American Indonesian Exchange Foundation (AMINEF) was
established in 1987 to bring a higher level of cooperation and local involvement to the Fulbright
Program. AMINEF runs an open, merit-based competition for Fulbright grants. Applications are
reviewed by AMINEF selection team. Those applicants who meet the minimum standards of the
program are then interviewed by a binational selection committee that includes experts from their
fields. The recommendations of the selection committee are reviewed by AMINEF Board of
Management. That list is then sent to the J. William Fulbright Foreign Scholarships Board in
Washington for final approval.
