11 UI students earn prestigious Fulbright awards for 2026–27
Eleven University of Iowa students — all Iowa natives — have been selected from more than 10,000 applicants nationwide to receive Fulbright U.S. Student Program awards for the 2026–27 academic year.
The recipients will represent the U.S. Department of State around the world, teaching English, serving in community organizations, and conducting research and graduate studies. This achievement further reinforces the UI’s standing as a national leader in global scholarship, having been named a Top Producer of Fulbright U.S. Student Awards for 10 years.
Fulbright is the flagship international educational exchange program of the United States government. Founded in 1946 and celebrating its 80th anniversary, the program’s goal is to increase mutual understanding and support friendly and peaceful relations between the people of the U.S. and other countries.
