Bates College has been named a Top Producer of Fulbright Student awards for the 11th straight year.
This year’s Top Producer honor recognizes Fulbright offers extended to eight graduating Bates seniors and young alumni last spring to support a year of English-language teaching or research abroad during 2021–22.
In the face of unprecedented global uncertainty during the application process, the Bates seniors and young alumni who pursued Fulbrights showed tremendous grace, creativity, and persistence as they navigated the shifting Fulbright terrain country by country, said Robert Strong, director of national fellowships.
