192 Students in University Apply for Fulbright Grants

One hundred and ninety-two Fulbright scholarship applications go to New York today as the University's contribution to the thousands of applications that will come in for the 1951-52 foreign study awards.

The U.S. government plans to award about 600 scholarships again this year to post-graduate and post-doctorate students who have projects to pursue at any of 18 foreign countries. The awards provide tuition, travel, and living expenses for one year.

Of the Harvard applicants, 66 were from the College and 80 were from the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences. Twenty-seven applied from the Law School, and the other 19 came in small numbers from four other graduate schools.

Largest Percentage

By far the largest percentage of applications are for study in the United Kingdom. Twenty-nine College seniors and 55 graduate students want to go there. Second in popularity is France, with 12 seniors and 28 graduates.

Austria comes third with seven and five, respectively, and there are one or two applications for each of 15 other nations from Norway to the Philippines.

Last year 35 students from Harvard received Fulbrights, out of 201 who applied. Thirty of these men (five percent of the nation's total number of winners) were students trained by the Faculty of Arts and Sciences.

The Fulbright awards, now in their second year, are financed by sale of war surplus property abroad.
