Eleven faculty and nine students* from Michigan State University were offered Fulbright awards for the 2025-26 academic year.

The Fulbright Program is the U.S. government’s flagship international educational exchange program. Twenty Michigan State scholars and students will reside in 17 different countries because of the opportunities available through Fulbright awards.

“MSU’s Fulbright scholars and students embody the university’s mission to address the world’s most pressing challenges and advance the greater good, locally and globally,” said MSU Interim Provost Thomas Jeitschko. “Congratulations to this year’s cohort of Fulbright Program participants as they prepare to embark on transformative international exchanges that will help advance MSU’s global commitments and connections.”

The Fulbright Program was established over 75 years ago and has celebrated more than 400,000 participants since its inception. Each year the U.S. Department of State’s Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs announces the top producing institutions for the Fulbright Program. The Chronicle of Higher Education publishes the list annually.
