Baylor students have had great success winning Fulbright awards over the years. Three cycles ago, Baylor had a record 14 winners, where 27% of all applicants won an award, for which Baylor was named a Fulbright Top Producing Institution for the first time in school history. Two cycles ago, Baylor had 12 winners, where 28% of all applicants won an award, for which Baylor was just named a Fulbright Top Producing Institution for the second year in a row. And this cycle we have another very strong group of applicants with a record 34 finalists. Please join us to celebrate these accomplished students, thank the faculty and administrators who make their success possible, and learn how you can join the ranks of Fulbright winners yourself!
