Holly Hunter Wheeler, center, a Fulbright-Nehru teaching assistant in New Delhi in 2016-17, helped secondary-school students develop their English-language projects.

Several colleges have seen an increase this year in their numbers of award recipients in the Fulbright U.S. Scholar and Fulbright U.S. Student Programs. The exchange programs are sponsored by the U.S. Department of State’s Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs. Eight doctoral, two master’s, seven baccalaureate, and two special-focus institutions, all highlighted with boldfaced text, were top producers of both U.S. scholars and U.S. students in 2019-20.

Among the top-producing doctoral institutions of Fulbright U.S. students, 16 have been on the top-producing list every year for the past 10 years. They are Arizona State University; Boston College; Brown, Columbia, Georgetown, Harvard, Northwestern, Princeton, Stanford, Villanova, and Yale Universities; Rutgers University at New Brunswick; and the Universities of California at Berkeley, Chicago, Michigan at Ann Arbor, and North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
