This table shows the number of Rhodes, Marshall, Churchill, Truman, and Goldwater Scholars per school. Only the Goldwater and Churchill Scholarships are specific to the sciences, but I show the others for interest’s sake.
Rhodes = Rhodes Scholars since 1980. Before 1976, the Rhodes was only open to men. For study at Oxford.
Marshall = Marshall Scholars since 1980. For study in Ireland.
Churchill = Churchill Scholars for study of the sciences at Cambridge.
Goldw = Goldwater Scholar for study of the hard sciences
Truman = for leadership, includes leadership in science but not at all specific to science.
Total = sum of all
per.cap = 1000 x Total/Size
The Truman and Churchill awards are oddly distributed. Some schools have many and other similar schools have none. I suspect that there is a sponsor effect, so some of these small schools have a faculty or two who were scholars and who sponsor/promote it.
