NAZARETH COLLEGE IS A TOP PRODUCER OF FULBRIGHT U.S. STUDENTS
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. The Fulbright Program is the U.S. government's flagship international educational exchange program. Top-producing institutions are highlighted annually in The Chronicle of Higher Education.
Three students from Nazareth College received Fulbright awards for academic year 2017-2018 in the master's institutions category printed in The Chronicle of Higher Education. In the last five years, there have been 16 Fulbrights awarded to Nazareth College students.
"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."
The Fulbright program is administered at Nazareth College through Mark Madigan in English and Communication.
Since its inception in 1946, the Fulbright Program has provided more than 380,000 participants-chosen for their academic merit and leadership potential - with the opportunity to exchange ideas and contribute to finding solutions to shared international concerns.
