*Student and Scholar Top Producing Institution

**Top Producing Institution classifications have been adjusted to reflect changes in the Carnegie Classifications for 2025. For consistency with previous years, Fulbright has retained the previous classification labels, with the addition of one new category, called Special Focus: Technology, Engineering & Sciences, Medical & Health. The new Carnegie Classification categories have been mapped to the Top Producing Institution classifications, and some institutions may appear in different institution types than in prior years.
