CU Boulder has been named a Fulbright Top Producing Institution for U.S. Students by the U.S. Department of State’s Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs. The recognition is given to the U.S. colleges and universities that received the highest number of applicants selected for the 2022–23 Fulbright U.S. student program. Nine CU Boulder students and alumni were named Fulbright finalists for the 2022–23 academic year.

"We are honored to be designated as a Fulbright Top Producing Institution for U.S. students," said Deborah Viles, director of the Office of Top Scholarships at CU Boulder. "It highlights the investment CU makes in our students and recognizes the strong collaborations on campus among students, faculty and staff. We’re excited to see the myriad ways in which our students and other Fulbrighters contribute their energy and expertise to address global challenges."

The Fulbright is the U.S. government’s flagship international educational exchange program and has given more than 400,000 students, scholars, teachers, artists and professionals of all backgrounds and fields the opportunity to study, teach, conduct research, exchange ideas and contribute to finding solutions to shared international concerns. Established over 75 years ago to increase mutual understanding between the people of the United States and the people of other countries, the program is funded through an annual appropriation made by the U.S. Congress to the U.S. Department of State.
