Rochester, NY (02/19/2018) — Nazareth College is proud to be included on the list of U.S. colleges and universities that produced the most 2017-2018 Fulbright U.S. Students recently announced by the U.S. Department of State's Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs.

"Nazareth is proud of our students' academic commitment to the Fulbright program, and their success is again being rewarded as Nazareth is named a top producer of U.S. Fulbright students," said Nazareth College President Daan Braveman. "To be such a consistent leader among the top colleges of our size in the country is a credit to our students' dedication and to their Fulbright advisor Mark Madigan."
