Seventeen University of Georgia students received Fulbright offers for the 2024-2025 academic year, placing UGA among the top producing institutions for Fulbright U.S. students. This is the third year in a row—and the seventh time in 12 years—that UGA has been named a top producer of Fulbright U.S. students.
Of the 17 UGA students and recent alumni who were offered Fulbright awards for 2024-2025, 13 were able to accept. Eight are teaching English in countries including Indonesia, Kazakhstan, Romania, Spain and Taiwan. Five are studying or conducting research; their countries are Brazil, Colombia, Madagascar, Taiwan and Tunisia.
“Earning recognition as a top producer of Fulbright students is something we are deeply proud of, and it points to the emphasis UGA places on providing an array of experiential learning opportunities for our students, guiding them to make a difference locally and abroad,” said Maria de Rocher, campus Fulbright U.S. Student Program adviser and assistant dean and director of programming for the Morehead Honors College. “Our students are well-prepared to take on these international roles because of the far-reaching efforts of UGA faculty, staff, administrators and our partners on and off campus.”
