Fulbright-Philippine Agriculture Scholarship Program (FPASP)

Established on December 15, 1999, the Fulbright-Philippine Agriculture Scholarship Program (FPASP), a five-year program, uses U.S. Public Law 480 Food for Peace Program funds to develop human resources from the Philippine agricultural and fisheries sectors. Working closely with the Department of Agriculture, PAEF gives awards to Filipinos from the agriculture, forestry, and fisheries fields to pursue graduate degree and non-degree study, research, and consultations in the United States, and to Americans to do lecturing, research and consultations in the Philippines. The fifth batch of FPASP scholars are expected to complete their programs between 2008 and 2011.
