Univ. Of Washington again a Fulbright top producer

SEATTLE – The University of Washington has been recognized once again as one of American higher education’s top producers of Fulbright students and scholars. This recognition is given to the U.S. colleges and universities that had the highest number of applicants selected for the 2024-25 Fulbright U.S. Student and Fulbright U.S. Scholar Programs – the federal government’s flagship international exchange program. The Chronicle of Higher Education published the list on February 25. A total of 13 UW students received Fulbright awards for the current academic year: five undergraduates or recent graduates and eight graduate-level students. Six UW faculty were named Fulbright scholars. Final totals can vary over time as alternates are chosen due to changes in travel plans. Students and faculty from all three campuses have participated in the exchange program.
