The National Science Foundation announced the 2,193 awardees of their Graduate Research Fellowship Program (GRFP) awards and yet again, some single institutions outperformed entire American states.
83 awards went to students from one institution, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)61 awards went to students in the entire University of Texas system.
This seems biased. But I don’t know what the applicant pool looks like because NSF don’t release that data.
I don’t have bandwidth to do more analysis, but check out the links before for some previous years.
