ISU among top universities for producing Fulbright U.S. Scholars
Iowa State University is among the U.S. colleges and universities that produced the most Fulbright U.S. Scholars for 2020-21, as announced by the U.S. Department of State’s Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs. The Fulbright Program is the U.S. government’s flagship international educational exchange program. The annual list appears in the Chronicle of Higher Education. Six Iowa State scholars were offered Fulbright Awards for 2020-21. The Fulbright Program was created 75 years ago to increase mutual understanding between the people of the United States and the people of other countries. “The hallmark of an Iowa State education is a unique combination of practical and critical thinking skills that prepare students for success long after their time on campus has ended,” said ISU Senior Vice President and Provost Jonathan Wickert. “In today’s global society, the ability to learn from the international experiences of our faculty has never been more important.”
