Congratulations to all those institutions whose students and scholars received Fulbright grants this year and especially to those listed in the October 28th edition of The Chronicle of Higher Education. We would like to thank the Fulbright Scholar Program Campus Representatives and Fulbright Student Program Program Advisers for their successful advising of their scholars and students.
The October 28th edition of The Chronicle of Higher Education highlights how in spite of budgetary reductions, the Fulbright Program continues to promote innovative projects addressing global challenges like developing renewable-energy sources or fighting HIV/AIDS. The article reports that, as part of its new Fulbright NEXUS Program, the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs of the United States Department of State provided awards to 20 scholars, nonprofit leaders and businesspeople in the Western Hemisphere who are doing work in three areas: science, technology and innovation; sustainable energy; and entrepreneurship.
Feature articles in this special Chronicle report include profiles of an Afghan Fulbright Student engineer who hopes to help rebuild his country, a Fulbright-mtvU grantee promoting interfaith dialogue and peace in Northern Ireland and a Fulbright Scholar addressing HIV/AIDS in Sierra Leone. The edition also includes the lists of "Top Producing" schools – those institutions in each Carnegie Classification that had the highest number of students and scholars who received Fulbright grants this year.
The article’s accompanying charts illustrate Top Producers of Fulbright U.S. Scholars (by type); Top Producers of Fulbright U.S. Students (by type), Countries and Territories Sending Fulbright Scholars to the U.S.; Top Destinations for Fulbright U.S. Scholars; and Top Destinations for Fulbright U.S. Students.

The Fulbright Program, the U.S. government’s flagship international educational exchange program, is sponsored by the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs of the United States Department of State. Since its inception in 1946, the Fulbright Program has provided more than 310,000 participants—chosen for their academic merit and leadership potential — with the opportunity to study, teach and conduct research, exchange ideas and contribute to finding solutions to shared international concerns. In the United States, the Institute of International Education administers and coordinates activities relevant to the Fulbright Student Program and Fulbright Scholar Program on behalf of the U.S Department of State.
