Emory had 11 students or recent alumni (who applied as students) receive Fulbright awards to teach or conduct research abroad, which makes Emory a top producer nationally among research institutions, according to the Chronicle of Higher Education’s Top Producers of Fulbright U.S. Scholars and Students list.

Winners of the award, named after the late Sen. J. William Fulbright, are selected on the basis of academic or professional achievement, as well as demonstrated leadership potential in their fields.
