Baylor students just keep upping the school record for Fulbright scholarship recipients. In 2019, BU set a new high with 7 Fulbrights; in 2022, that jumped to 14; and last year, 18 Bears were so honored.
Given that trend (and Baylor’s continued national recognition as a top Fulbright producer), it should come as no surprise that that record has fallen again. This spring, 23 Baylor students and recent alumni won the prestigious Fulbright awards — and that’s just the beginning when it comes to the list of BU students winning top national and international scholarships and fellowships.
This spring, Baylor Bears also earned four Goldwater Scholarships (another Baylor record); two Critical Language Scholarships, a Pickering Foreign Affairs Fellowship, and a Rangel Graduate Fellowship (all from the U.S. Department of State); two Boren Scholarships; and a Fulbright UK Summer Institute Award.
Here’s the (lengthy) list of honorees, along with where the honors will take them:

“If you want proof that a Baylor education is successful in its aims to educate for worldwide leadership and service, then look no further than these extraordinary students,” says Dr. Andrew Hogue (MA ’05, PhD ’09), associate dean for engaged learning at Baylor. “More than simply a recognition, these awards represent for our students the opportunity of a lifetime — for study and research at the highest levels, for diplomacy and cultural exchange in communities around the world, and for leadership experiences that will bring encounter with human need and opportunities to promote human flourishing.”
Sic ’em, Bears!
