Fulbright Program, 1951–52

JAN 01, 1952
Travel Grants for Visiting Scholars
Physics Today

A total of 357 travel grants have been made to visiting scholars from abroad under the Fulbright Program for lecturing or advanced research in the United States, and approximately 45 additional applications are in process of review. These figures represent an increase of approximately 25% over those of 1950–51. It is interesting to note that the number of scholars coming to the United States under the Fulbright Program now exceeds the number of American Fulbright scholars going abroad. It should be pointed out, however, that the usual length of time for which an American scholar is granted an award is nine months. In contrast, approximately 50% of the foreign scholars remain in the United States from three to nine months.
