Correction (2/14/2019, 2:33 p.m.): The University of Nebraska at Lincoln was erroneously omitted from the original version of this table, even though it had six Fulbright scholars. The institution has been added among top producers of Fulbright scholars in the category of research universities.
Correction (2/26/2019, 3:20 p.m.): The original version of this table listed North Carolina State University as having seven Fulbright scholars in 2018-19. It had eight. That figure and the university's ranking among research institutions have been corrected.
