Alumni list should be ordered by last name first. there appears to be no rational purpose in the current ordering. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.48.205.82 ( talk) 04:05, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

Does anybody know anything about how the Fulbright has been expanded? The Fulbright Program has been expanded in a number of ways over the years. The best resource for more information would be the Annual Report of the J. William Fulbright Foreign Scholarship Board. The latest report can be found on their web site at http://exchanges.state.gov/education/fulbright/ffsb/ . And has there always been a home residency requirement clause in the program? I have heard that it was Western European governments who in the 1950s insisted that this clause should be added because they meant the Fulbright Program lead to brain-drain. However, I have never got this story verified.
Was Clinton a fullbright? I don't think so. I think he was just a Rhodes scholar.
Clinton won a Fulbright award: an extremely selective award granted yearly to one participant. He did not participate in any Fulbright program. "Just a Rhodes scholar" is probably inappropriate as Rhodes is a far more difficult award to receive. I hope this clears up the misunderstanding. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.237.109.194 ( talk) 05:10, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
To the unsigned user above: I think you're confusing the J. William Fulbright Prize for International Understanding and the Fulbright Scholarship. Clinton was awarded the former, but his scholarship was Rhodes. -- LarryMColeman 18:24, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
That's probably not surprising since, as stated,
There have not been anywhere near that many Rhodes scholars. - Matthew238 04:50, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
I've requested cleanup on this page as (1) much of the page is written like an advertisement or uses many weasel-words and (2) the organization of sections is not clear. For example, the Fulbright alumni section does not make it clear that these are alumni of the US Student programs. Perhaps, as a starting point, the long-ish intro could be split up into a History section and a section on the US Student Program, cf. the Fulbright Prize section. Information is also pretty much missing on foreign student programs. mitcho/芳貴 23:57, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
On another cleanup matter, the line "Josh Lyman, Deputy Chief of Staff to President Josiah Bartlett" in the list of Fulbright Scholars, doesn't adequately reflect that this is a fictional character added on to a list of real people. Drakkenfyre 08:48, 13 November 2007 (UTC)
Can someone add something about the misnomer "full ride" scholarship? I believe it is derived by ignorant people mispeaking Fulbright. 4.230.114.173 ( talk) 11:10, 17 September 2009 (UTC)
The Fulbright Program was and is an internationalist reaction to two pointless World Wars. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 93.97.194.200 ( talk) 09:57, 13 August 2011 (UTC)
Just a note of clarification... Dolph Lundgren was awarded a Fulbright, but resigned after 2 weeks. [1] As far as the Fulbright Program is concerned, being a Fulbright "recipient" or alum includes completing the award term. I'm not editing anything and will leave it to the community to decide.

Stop adding material about a Fulbright scholar winning a drag race. As several other editors have explained, this is not notable. Natureium ( talk) 15:00, 30 June 2017 (UTC)
Really confused here. The first line talks about key roles:
Fulbright alumni have occupied key roles in government, academia, and industry. Of the 325,000+ alumni:
Also, why is "industry" listed as the criterion for the first list if the list is simply political positions?
Then the second list talks about "notable alumni", which is where Velour is mentioned. So is she "notable" (a really vague word) or not?
The following list is a selected group of notable Fulbright grant recipients
Seems like the confusion stems from the wording of the categories. I honestly don't have a dog in the Sasha fight; I'm not a fan. But if you have a list of "key roles" then this is a key role for her industry. If she doesn't belong there, change the name of the list... doesn't that make sense?
