Rutgers-New Brunswick Named Top Producer of Fulbright Recipients for 2025–2026
February 2, 2026
Rutgers University-New Brunswick once again has been named a top producer for the Fulbright U.S. Student Program, with 11 undergraduate and recent graduates receiving the grants in the 2025-2026 academic year.
“Our students’ ongoing success in earning Fulbright grants illustrates once again the Rutgers edge,” said Rutgers President William F. Tate IV. “Again and again their grit and perseverance are matched by exceptional intellect and curiosity.”
The Fulbright program is the U.S. government’s flagship international educational exchange program. Grant recipients conduct research, work on projects, teach English and advance their education at host institutions throughout the world, including Austria, France, Poland and Taiwan.
The “top producer” distinction – shared by some of the nation’s most elite institutions, including Princeton and Harvard—is given to colleges and universities in the United States that received the highest number of applicants selected for the Fulbright U.S. Student Program and requires schools to have at least 10 students or recent graduates who have been offered Fulbright grants.
