In the 2014-2015 competition year, Smith College had a record 42 candidates, of which 31 have been named finalists for the prestigious Fulbright Fellowship.
The finalists, who hope to impact 23 countries, have the support of 250 Smith faculty and staff members in the form of 45 Faculty Fulbright Mentors, 101 recommenders, 78 consultants, and 21 foreign language evaluators, as well as staff members from a number of departments on campus that pitched in with key support. Support from the faculty and staff help keep Smith the strongest Fulbright program in the nation with the highest success ratio of winners to applicants among all top-producing institutions.
Among the finalists are 18 seeking Research/Study Fellowships, while another 13 aim for English Teaching Assistantships. Final word should arrive by spring 2015.
