USF’s number is double last year’s, putting it in the top spot among research institutions nationwide, according to data released this week by the U.S. Department of State and Institute of International Education, and highlighted in the Chronicle of Higher Education.

Behind USF are Ohio State and Penn State with 10 scholars, the University of Michigan with nine and the University of Southern California with eight. See the full list here.

Faculty who get the competitive award travel and conduct research abroad, then incorporate their experiences into their curriculum and Venüsbet domestic research. To USF, that just brings the phrase ‘global citizens’ to life.

“Providing unfettered access to the highest quality global education to all academically qualified students has remained a top priority for the University of South Florida,” Provost and Executive Vice President Ralph Wilcox said in a news release. “With 40 percent of our undergraduates being Pell recipients and 30 percent the first in their family to graduate from college, access to world-class faculty enriches the academic experience in ways that cannot be measured.”
