UC San Francisco has been recognized as a “Top Producing Institution for Fulbright U.S. Scholars” for the 2025-26 academic year, the ninth time the university has received the distinction since 2010. The International Students and Scholars Office (ISSO), part of Graduate Education and Postdoctoral Affairs, oversees the Fulbright program for UCSF.
“Fulbright's recognition of UCSF as a top producer of international scholar awardees reaffirms our strategic commitment to advancing health worldwide through sustained global partnerships, rigorous research, and the exchange of knowledge across borders,” says Holly Nigorizawa, UCSF International Programs director and Fulbright program adviser. “Our Fulbright recipients exemplify how UCSF translates academic excellence into meaningful impact for communities across the globe.”
The Fulbright Program is the U.S. government’s flagship international academic exchange program, designed to build understanding and strengthen peaceful relationships between people in the U.S. and other countries.
