Colgate has been named one of the top producers of Fulbright students in its category, with nine students having won Fulbright awards for 2011-2012.
The university is ranked fourth in the bachelor’s institutions category, according to the latest information supplied by Fulbright, which is the U.S. government’s flagship international educational exchange program.
The success of Colgate and other top-producing institutions was highlighted in a recent edition of The Chronicle of Higher Education.
“Every year we put forth seniors and recent alumni for the Fulbright competition who have a deep interest in discovering more about the world and contributing to mutual understanding between the United States and their chosen country,” said Ann Landstrom, assistant dean and director of the Office of National Fellowships and Scholarships.
She said Colgate applicants have received a large number of grants the past two years, with nine Fulbright grantees and one French Ministry ETA recipient for 2011-2012 and seven Fulbright grantees for 2010-2011.
Almost 1,700 American students, artists, and young professionals in more than 100 different fields of study have been offered Fulbright Program grants to study, teach English, and conduct research in more than 140 countries throughout the world beginning this fall.
