Data this year reflects a change. Only the number of awards offered — rather than the number of awards accepted — was provided to reflect program adaptations that prioritize the health and safety of participants and host communities, according to Fulbright.
Academic exchanges through the Scholar and Student programs can take place in more than 150 countries around the world.
