PROVIDENCE, R.I. – Brown University athletics alumnae Jazmin Piche '19 (women's fencing) and Kelley Tackett '20 (women's swimming & diving) were recently awarded the Fulbright Scholarship. For the fifth consecutive year, the University is among the top producers of Fulbright winners, with 38 grants awarded to Brown students and recent alumni.
Brown produced more student Fulbright winners than all but one other school in the nation for the second straight year, according to data released by the U.S. Department of State on Monday, Feb. 15.
In both the current and 2019-20 Fulbright award cycles, the University ranked second with 38 student winners, behind only Georgetown. In the prior three academic years, Brown earned the country's top rank with 35, 39 and 30 students, respectively.
The Fulbright U.S. Student Program has promoted international peace through intellectual and cultural exchange since its founding in 1946. The program funds approximately 2,000 recent graduates and current graduate students annually to teach and conduct research in 140 countries around the world. Applicants are selected based upon academic and professional records, the quality and achievability of their teaching or research proposals, and their ability and willingness to engage culturally with their host communities.
Brown's consistent placement among the top Fulbright producers reflects the University's commitment to equipping students to build knowledge and understanding across cultures, said Dean of the College Rashid Zia.
