For the fourth year running, the U.S. State Department’s Bureau of Educational Affairs has recognized Dartmouth as a Top Producer of Fulbright U.S. Students.

It’s a designation Dartmouth has earned a total of seven times since the Fulbright Program—the U.S. government’s flagship program for international academic exchange—began in 1946.

Dartmouth ranks fifth in the nation as a Fulbright producer.

A record 32 Dartmouth students and alumni were offered Fulbright awards for scholarship or teaching last year in countries including El Salvador, Kosovo, Greece, China, and Mozambique. Twenty-six of these awardees accepted the grants, and at least 20 are currently overseas in the Fulbright program.

Christie Harner, associate dean of undergraduate education for fellowships and scholars programs, says receiving the top producer designation four times in a row is “an honor.” 

“We have Fulbright recipients on five continents, teaching English and studying and researching everything from AI and medical advances to disability politics and the history of classical mathematics—a true mark of Dartmouth’s expansive liberal arts education,” Harner says.

Since its inception, the Fulbright Program has provided students, scholars, teachers, artists, and professionals—including more than 305 Dartmouth graduates—opportunities to live, study, teach, and research in more than 160 countries.
