The Hawai'i Chapter of the Fulbright Association was organized in the fall of 1985, in no small part due to encouragement and assistance from Arthur Dudden, the founding president of the national Fulbright Association. It has maintained a membership of some fifty former Fulbrighters over the years, mostly individuals associated with the University of Hawai'i but including others affiliated with Hawai'i Pacific University and Brigham Young University-Hawai'i. Still others with different connections--particularly private high schools, the East-West Center, and former Fulbright scholars and staffers retired in Hawai'i--also have been active.

The Fulbright Association is tax-exempt under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and chapters are tax exempt under a group tax exemption ruling. The Association is incorporated under the laws of the District of Columbia. Chapters apply for and receive charters, approve Bylaws, and enter into Affiliation Agreements to maintain their affiliation with the national organization and to receive services and benefits from the national office.
We know that as a volunteer it can be difficult to navigate the paperwork required to maintain your chapter’s affiliation with the Fulbright Association. Please find below all of the necessary forms to be completed at various points through the year.
