Data comparing liberal arts colleges in the sciences

This table shows the number of two prestigious awards for graduate study in the hard sciences that have been awarded to this list of LACs. Sorted by total number of Goldwater and NSF scholars.

Size = enrollment 2013-2014

Goldwater = Goldwater Scholars 2006-2016. From their website.

NSF = NSF Graduate Student scholarships 2010-2016. Only awards for study in the hard sciences are listed. Where I got the data is described here: http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/college-search-selection/1881324-table-of-colleges-and-university-that-produce-awardees-of-nsf-graduate-fellowships-p1.html
Total = Goldwater + NSF columns.

.per.capita = 1000 x Total/Size since the schools vary in size I also show the per capita # of these awards

Fulbright = Fulbright RESEARCH awards for graduate study overseas in the hard sciences. There are 2 types of Fulbright student awards, for graduate student study abroad and for teach English. I looked only at the graduate student awards and only for study in the hard sciences.
