They all represent main state and social activities such as: management, education, culture, art and business. The American ambassador and the Bulgarian Minister of Education and Science are honoured co-chairmen.
The main source of funding of Fulbright are the US government grants on an annual basis. The total amount of which is $600,000, and from 2009 the Bulgarian government awards $140,000 annually for the increasing of the Programme’s budget.
