Seventeen Cornellians will go abroad next academic year to fourteen countries, thanks to the support of the Fulbright U.S. Student Program.

Cornell's 2024–25 Fulbright students include six alumni, eight undergraduate students, and three graduate students whose time abroad will increase mutual understanding between the people of the United States and the people of other countries. 

Nine of this year's Fulbright awardees will travel to Asian countries, with a particular concentration headed to South Asia. Three of the four national research awards to Nepal this year were given to Cornell applicants.
