Report from Governing Board FY 2008The positive development of the Norwegian Fulbright program continued in FY 2008. The Board is delightedthat concerted public relations efforts resulted in a steady increase in Norwegian and American applications.Grantees continued to have exceptionally high academic standards and reported a remarkable degree ofsatisfaction with their respective academic programs and follow-up by the Oslo office and by its U.S. partners.Following significant increases in funding from the Norwegian Ministry of Education and Research, theNorwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the U.S. Department of State, the Foundation’s sound economyenabled the awarding of several more grants this year to Norwegians and Americans.The Board is unanimous in its praise for the excellent work of the commission’s small, but effective staff.Besides administering the Fulbright programs, the staff attends conferences and student fairs, counsels students,and coordinates alumni events. Four full time employees, all of them university educated and three of themwomen, continue to staff the office. The office move from the first to the fourth floor of the building onArbinsgate 2 in January 2008 took place seamlessly.As a direct result of increased funding, the commission nominated four secondary school teachers, three morethan in the previous year, to participate in the Summer Institute for Teachers in American Studies. In addition,the Commission selected five candidates for the Summer Institute for Outstanding European Leaders. For thefirst time, one Norwegian candidate was nominated by the Board for the prestigious Fulbright Science andTechnology Award. The unique Roving Scholar program continues to be such an enormous success that itdeserves to be emulated by other commissions.Norway continues to contribute a large share of the total budget and the sundry reserves are now at acomfortable level. The Board finds the financial situation satisfactory and hopes that allocations for FY 2009will sustain the level of activity and number of awards for the coming years.Four Norwegian and four American board members meet four times a year. In addition to normal board duties,members interview candidates, work on taskforces and committees, attend orientation meetings and participatein promotional activities.Oslo, 4 March, 2009page 16
