Sponsored by the Association of Graduate Schools, the program has been financed by grants from the Carnegie Corporation and the General Education Board totaling $1,000,000.

The Wilson awards for the coming year have been divided among 224 men and 78 women, and have an approximate total value of $604,000, including more than $100,000 in institutional grants-in-aid.

Fourteen from Princeton

Princeton captured top honors among the 149 schools represented, accounting for 14 fellowships. Next was the University of Michigan with seven, followed by a group of colleges including Yale, Cornell, and the University of Chicago, with six awards each.
