Rhodes’ Postgraduate Scholarship Committee is endorsing 23 seniors to compete for Fulbright U.S. Student awards to be used for the 2019-2020 academic year. Winners will be announced throughout Spring 2019. The 23 individuals make up the largest class of candidates Rhodes has produced.
For two academic years in a row (2016-2017 and 2017-2018), Rhodes has been recognized as a top Fulbright-producing institution by the U.S. Department of State. The Fulbright U.S. Student Program offers grants to graduating seniors and graduate students to conduct research, study, and/or teach for one year in more than 140 countries. Recipients are chosen for their academic merit and intellectual potential and must go through an on-campus application process.
Those from Rhodes who will be competing for Fulbright U.S. Student Awards for 2019-2020 beginning this January are:
