The list of colleges that had the most recipients of the prestigious Fulbright scholarship, the U.S. government’s flagship international-exchange program, has been released. Eighteen colleges were new to the list for the 2022-23 academic year. And nine doctoral institutions, three master’s, five baccalaureate, and one four-year special-focus institution were the top producers of both U.S. scholars and U.S. students.
What does it take to have high participation in the Fulbright U.S. Scholar Program, which offers teaching and research grants for college faculty and administrators? A common thread among top-producing colleges is that they have “Fulbright friendly” policies that help faculty and staff members apply for the program and that support them while they are abroad, said Julie E. Taylor, director of academic relations for Fulbright at the Institute of International Education, the not-for-profit organization that carries out the U.S. Student and U.S. Scholar Programs, which are administered by the U.S. Department of State.
