Hunter College is Again a Top Producer of Fulbright U.S. Students

Six Hunter Students Were Selected for the 2022-23 Academic Year

The U.S. Department of State’s Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs has named Hunter College a Fulbright Top Producing Institution for the 2022–2023 academic year, making it the 14th time in the previous 16 years that the college has earned the distinction. Fulbright is the U.S. government’s flagship international educational-exchange program.

“Hunter College’s brilliant and diverse students, many from immigrant backgrounds, are a natural source of Fulbright scholars, as this recognition shows,” said Hunter College President Jennifer J. Raab. “Our Ruth & Harold Newman Office of Prestigious Scholarships and Fellowships has a stellar track record in preparing our students for these opportunities.”

Six students — now graduates — from Hunter were selected for Fulbright awards for academic year 2022–2023, including Sasha Balkaran '21, Leyla Haznedar '22, Cloé Mueller '22, Salwa Najmi '22, Kathleen Ray '22, and Luisais Taveras '22.
