Note: Data cover confirmed recipients for the 2018-19 academic year and are current as of February 1, 2019. Tied institutions are listed alphabetically. Categories are based on the 2018 Carnegie Classification of Institutions of Higher Education. The Fulbright Scholar Program sponsors American and foreign participants for exchanges in the sciences, academe, public service, the arts, and other areas to promote mutual understanding between Americans and people of other countries. The Fulbright U.S. Student Program provides grants for individually designed study or research programs, or English-teaching-assistant programs, in many foreign countries. More data can be found on the Fulbright website. Questions or comments on the Chronicle List should be sent to Ruth Hammond.

Correction (2/14/2019, 2:33 p.m.): The University of Nebraska at Lincoln was erroneously omitted from the original version of this table, even though it had six Fulbright scholars. The institution has been added among top producers of Fulbright scholars in the category of research universities.

Correction (2/26/2019, 3:20 p.m.): The original version of this table listed North Carolina State University as having seven Fulbright scholars in 2018-19. It had eight. That figure and the university’s ranking among research institutions have been corrected.
