Samford named top producer of Fulbright students

Samford University in Birmingham is 1 of only 23 masters institutions in the nation included on The Chronicle of Higher Education’s list of Top Producers of Fulbright Scholars and Students, 2016–2017. Samford’s record number of successful 2016 student applications included alumni Natalie Bennie ’16 (communication studies major, German minor), Analeigh Horton ’15 (communication studies major, Spanish and Latin American studies minor) and Samantha Hurley ’15 (nursing major, Spanish minor), who were accepted to the prestigious Fulbright English Teaching Assistant Program.

“Samford’s recognition as a top Fulbright producer is the most recent example of the quality of our faculty and students and the increased awareness of the rigor and relevance of our academic programs,” Samford President Andrew Westmoreland said. “Those of us at Samford are honored to play a role in supporting the goals of the Fulbright Program at locations throughout the world.” (Samford)
