Congratulations to Smith's fellowship winners, alternates and finalists for the 2015-16 competition year.
Among other awards, Smith students garnered 19 Fulbright Fellowship offers (another 2 were short-listed as Alternates), 1 Beinecke Scholarship and 2 DAAD (German Academic Exchange Service) Fellowships.
For the Fulbright, Smith's record cohort of 43 applicants registered a 44% success rate compared to the national average of 17%.
Our success rate for the English Teaching Assistantship (ETA) alone is 63%.
Fulbright offers target 16 different countries, which means that Smithies are reaching out further across the globe, with five first-time countries this year among all the applicants, three of whom were selected, with a fourth standing by as an Alternate.
The increasing number of countries Smithies are headed towards also shows how our adventurous trail-blazing students are gaining in international confidence as they venture forth into more foreign regions off the beaten track to represent the United States.
Among our applicants, about 16 or 37% were minority students, who at eight winners among them constitute 41% of Smith's Fellows this year.
Congratulations also to students who applied and were named finalists for other prestigious awards like the Marshall, Gates and Rhodes.
That Smith records finalists for these fellowships, a rare achievement, is testament to the preparation and dedication invested in these applications by students, faculty and staff alike.
We once again thank Smith faculty and staff who contributed in 273 capacities (42 Faculty Fulbright Mentors, 104 Recommenders, 101 Consultants, 26 Foreign Language Evaluators).
Appreciation is also extended to staff members who supported this campus-wide collaboration from various quarters including the Clark Science, Wurtele, Jacobson, Lazarus, and Lewis centers, the Registrar's, Class Deans, Disability, and Student Financial Services offices, plus IRB and ITS.
It is this rallying around that helps keep Smith the strongest Fulbright program in the nation:

FOR the first time in 32 years, a Smith College candidate has won the highly prestigious Marshall Scholarship. Tess Grogan '14 applied to study English Literature at St Andrews University in Scotland. Read the full story here.
Congratulations to this year's 20 Fulbright winners, a 48% success rate in the ratio of winners to applicants versus a national 17% average.
In 2015-16, our 11 Research Fellows and 9 Teaching Fellows will fan out across the globe to 16 countries on 4 continents, including to Belgium, China, Morocco, Trinidad & Tobago, and Turkey. Two will study for master's degrees in the United Kingdom, a Fulbright first for Smith.
Read more about our newest Fulbright Fellows below and our record at
https://www.smith.edu/fulbright/outstanding_ach.php
We honor all the 42 candidates who completed Fulbright applications in 2014: This cohort represents a record 42% minority students among both the original 42 candidates and the short-listed 31 finalists who comprised a first-round 74% success rate.
We thank the 250 Smith faculty and staff supporters — in the form of 45 Faculty Fulbright Mentors, 101 Recommenders, 78 Consultants, and 21 Foreign Language Evaluators, staff members from the Clark Science, Jacobson, Lazarus, and Lewis Global Studies centers, the Registrar's, Class Deans, Disability Services and Diversity offices, and IRB, SFS and ITS — who pitched in with key support. It is this rallying around that helps keep Smith the strongest Fulbright program in the nation with the highest success ratio of winners to applicants among all top-producing institutions.
Please notify us via the easy form of any Smith fellowships winner not listed below.

Clarke Knight '14 was named Smith's first American Rhodes Scholar.
Of this year's 27 Fulbright Finalists, 15 have been named Fulbright Fellows.
Four Alternates are wait-listed.
Our six Research Fellows and nine English Teaching Assistants will fan out across the globe to 10 countries on four continents.
Read about the accomplishments of our 51 Smith fellowships winners below.
To help make this all happen — i.e. to produce well over 1,000 pages of application materials in a short period — these candidates have enjoyed the support of about 150 Smith faculty members, many of whom have contributed in multiple ways: mentoring, writing references, and consulting.
Staff members from the Clark Science, Jacobson, Lazarus, and Lewis Global Studies centers, the Registrar's and Class Deans' offices, and ITS, have also pitched in with key support.
It is this support that helps keep Smith with the strongest Fulbright program in the nation.

CONGRATULATIONS to our 23 Fulbright winners. This stunning total -- a new record number of Fulbright offers for the college -- represents a 55% success rate overall in the ratio of winners to applicants.
In 2013-14, our 8 Research Fellows and 15 English Teaching Fellows will fan out across the globe to 15 different countries on 4 continents, including Smith's first Fulbrighters to Bulgaria, Laos, Sri Lanka, and Thailand.
Read more about our newest Fulbright Fellows below.
We honor all of the 42 candidates who completed Fulbright applications in 2012: The cohort proudly represents the growing diversity of Smith with over 50 percent of the applicants self-reporting as ethnic minorities, first-generation college students, or first-generation Americans.
We thank the 129 Smith faculty members who provided invaluable support to the students through mentoring, writing references, and consulting.
In addition, staff in the Jacobson and Lazarus centers, the Registrar's and Class Deans' offices, and ITS and the Poetry Center, pitched in with key support.
It is this team effort that helps keep Smith the strongest Fulbright program in the nation.

Another record this Fulbright competition year of 2012–13, is the low attrition rate of those applicants who were admitted into our Fellowships Program to apply through Smith versus the number who completed their applications, the 42 candidates listed below.
We began with a field of 51 potential applicants and only nine withdrew, which means our retention rate was 82 percent.
Last year for instance, 27 applicants dropped out along the way, which is three times more than this year.
The 42 Candidates produced well over 1,000 pages of application materials in a short space of time. Candidates enjoyed the support and guidance of 129 faculty members plus help from other key staff in offices and centers around campus.

We honor all our record 42 candidates who completed Fulbright applications Fall 2011. We also thank our faculty members for their about 300 mostly written inputs in support of these applications comprising about 900 pages of materials. And that covers just what was submitted to Fulbright because these 42 candidates began our campus application process out of a field of 69 applicants who registered and were admitted to our program to apply for a Fulbright through Smith. Of these, 27 or about 40% withdrew along the way, leaving only these 42 or 60% who finished the course to submit in Fall 2011 their completed applications to the national competition.
Join in our celebration:

SMITH was the top-producing college in the country in the 2010-11 Fulbright competition year for the 2011-12 Fulbright Fellowship year overseas. Our 19 Fulbrighters and their fabulous projects are listed at https://www.smith.edu/fulbright/news_past.php under Fellowships Record 2010-11.
Smith earned highest honors also because we achieved our record 19 fellowships with only 40 applicants -- an almost 50% success rate. See
http://chronicle.com/article/Top-Producers-of-US/129452/
This newest result upholds Smith's overall lead the past seven years in producing more Fulbrighters than any other college. It is about the third time that Smith has led the country among colleges from across the country.

This is a new record for Smith and cements our position over the past seven years as the overall top Fulbright-producing college in the country while manifesting the college's Global Leadership Initiative.
Smith also leads the nation among all top-ranking higher educational institutions, including the Ivy League universities, in our success rate (ratio of winners to applicants). This year we have achieved a 47.5% success rate from 40 applicants. This is more than 2.5 times the national average of 17% or about one Fellow for every six applicants. At Smith, almost 1 in 2, or every other applicant, was named a Fulbright Fellow this year.
This is the first time since 2002 that we have had all our Fulbrights awarded to seniors. Other years, alumnae have helped us attain our high number of awards. Our 19 will be representing Smith and the United States in 15 different countries: Australia, Brazil, Chile, Egypt, Estonia, Germany, Jordan, Kazakhstan, Kuwait, Korea, Netherlands, Peru, Poland, Russia, Turkey.
This year Smith has exceeded 200 in the number of Fulbrights won by Smithies since we began keeping records in 1970. Of the 210 exactly, 129 of these have won Fulbrights since Smith began its Fellowships Program 10 years ago in 2001.
This year Smith had four other new records:
We had the highest number of Fulbright applicants: 40.
Applications to 30 different countries.
The most Finalists: 29.
The highest first-round success rate: 72.5%.
To produce this effort:
About 200 faculty members contributed time and expertise as mentors, recommenders, consultants, and evaluators.
It took about 800 pages of repeatedly reviewed and revised application materials to complete the 40 applications.
Students found about 70 potential research advisors and foreign institutions willing to write a letter in support of their 28 research projects.
A further 12 students and alumnae applied for Teaching Fulbrights.

Smith Number One in Fellowships
Highlights of 2005
For the fourth year in a row, Smith College has broken its own record for the number of seniors and alumnae who have been awarded Fulbright Fellowships. Fourteen Fulbright Fellowships have been offered to Smithies this year (11 seniors, 3 alumnae). This is five more than last year's nine Fulbright Fellows in 2004, a 50 percent increase.
Smith also had a record 21 Fulbright Finalists this year, a 50 percent increase on last year’s 14 finalists. Out of 30 applications, this represents a success rate of about 45% which is way above the national average and possibly the highest rate in the country among top college producers.
For a smallish college such as Smith, with a student population of about 2750, the number of Fulbright Fellows being named in the past two years ranks Smith as one of the very top colleges in the country per capita enrollment for producing Fulbrighters, if not the leading college among the top producers.
Other highlights include two students who were awarded the prestigious Goldwater science fellowship, as well as students who were awarded other national fellowships such as the Teaching Fellowship to France, the DAAD, the Boren, the Global Leader, the Freeman Asia, the Gilman, and the Killam, for a total 30 major fellowships and 51 fellows in all.
The awards are worth about $940,000.

FULBRIGHT
140 countriesThe Fulbright record goes back 33 years to 1970 during which time there have been 437 applicants and 77 awards for an average of about 13 applicants a year and about two awards a year. This does not take at-large alumnae applicants and the 16 alum fellows into account as there's no way of knowing the number of alum applicants (they applied direct not via Smith) whereas every alum recipient is identified as a Smith graduate.
From 2003, the results include Smith alums because they were brought into the Smith mentoring program in 2002 although they still applied direct to IIE. From the 2003 competition (results announced 2004) alums have had the option to apply through Smith rather than direct to IIE which they can still do instead.
