美国.S. Department of State’s Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs has recognized 科罗拉多大学 for the second consecutive year for being a Fulbright Top Producing Institution. Colleges and universities that receive this honor have the highest number of students selected for the Fulbright U.S. Student Program, which provides funding for international opportunities.

Six applicants from CC were selected for Fulbright awards for academic year 2023-2024. 罗伊·乔·萨丁, the Fulbright Program Adviser at CC, couldn’t be more thrilled.

"I hope this honor and the stories of these six winners – 凯拉·弗拉特，15岁 肯尼亚(研究), 萨姆森·海尔，23岁(阿尔及利亚英语教学)， 贾斯敏·林德，23岁 (巴西) 索菲·拉米雷斯，17岁 (英语教学约旦)， 麦迪·辛克，23岁 (英语教学哥伦比亚), and Mariel Zech '23 (English 教ing Taiwan) – will inspire more people to see themselves as potential Fulbrighters and to apply for the program."

This is the third time CC has made the list of Fulbright Top Producing Institutions; in both 2019 and 2022, four student grantees from CC were selected. There are currently 12 CC students and alumni who are semi-finalists for the 2024 Fulbright. Those awardees will be announced later this spring. Here are more takeaways from this year's Fulbright release:
