Correction (2/19/2018, 6:20 p.m.): The original version of this table incorrectly identified Augsburg University as Augsburg College. Augsburg changed its name from “College” to “University” last September. The name has been corrected.
Correction (2/20/2018, 5:42 p.m.): The original version of this table gave incorrect numbers of Fulbright students for two institutions. The University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign had 13 students, not 12, and Pennsylvania State University at University Park had 11, not 10. The numbers have been corrected.
Correction (5/14/2018, 5:23 p.m.): The original version of this table omitted Colburn School, a special-focus institution, which had one Fulbright student. It has been added.
