The University of Georgia has been named a top producer of Fulbright U.S students, a recognition given to institutions that received the highest number of Fulbright offers.
This is the fifth time in 11 years that UGA has earned this distinction from the U.S Department of State’s Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs.
Of the 10 students and alumni who accepted Fulbright awards for 2022-2023, seven are teaching English in countries including Kazakhstan, France, Bulgaria, Greece, Kenya, Brazil and Spain. Three are conducting research in Mozambique, Sierra Leone and Germany.
“Our 11 student recipients come from a wide range of backgrounds and areas of study. The Fulbright grants are a testament to their exceptional talent, the strong mentorship of our faculty, and UGA’s longstanding commitment to international education,” said Meg Amstutz, dean of the Morehead Honors College. “Receiving recognition as a top producer of Fulbrighters places the University of Georgia among an elite group of higher education institutions.”
The Fulbright Program offers research, study and teaching opportunities in more than 140 countries to recent college graduates and graduate students. Sponsored by the U.S Department of State, it is designed to improve intercultural relations between the people of the U.S. and countries worldwide.
