Rhodes College was recognized as a top Fulbright-producing institution for 2016-2017 by the U.S. Department of State. Five Rhodes students received awards for 2017-2018. This year, the college’s Postgraduate Scholarship Committee endorses 13 from Rhodes to compete for the nationally prestigious awards. Rhodes alumni also can apply for the award through the college. Winners will be announced throughout Spring 2018.
The Fulbright U.S. Student Program provides grants for English teaching assistantships (ETAs) as well as for individually designed study/research projects. Recipients are chosen for their academic merit and intellectual potential.
Those from Rhodes who will be competing for Fulbright U.S. Student Awards for 2018-2019 beginning this January are:
