The first student exchange with Bahrain began in 1996 after an agreement between the Ministry of Education and the U.S. Government.

The United States is committed to working with Bahrain to improve the quality of education and expand cultural exchanges. The Fulbright Program encompasses the full range of exchange programs, including scholarships for Bahraini graduate students and Bahraini post-doctoral scholars to conduct research for a semester or academic year.  English students and young English teachers from Bahrain are also eligible for the Foreign Language Teaching Assistant program.
