Today at the Hispanic Association of Colleges and Universities\u2019 annual conference in Chicago, IL, the U.S. Department of State announced 46 Hispanic-Serving Institutions (HSIs) as \u201cFulbright HSI Leaders,\u201d thanks to their engagement with the Fulbright Program during the 2022-23 academic year.\u00a0 Among the 46 HSIs recognized are 25 doctoral universities, 14 master\u2019s colleges and universities, five baccalaureate and special focus colleges, and two two-year colleges for associate degrees.\u00a0\u00a0The\u00a0full list<\/a>\u00a0of this year\u2019s Fulbright HSI Leaders is found on the Fulbright Program website.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The Fulbright Program aims to build lasting connections between Americans and people of other countries, and having strong HSI participation in the Program is critical to fully represent the diversity of the United States. \u00a0The institutional members of the Hispanic Association of Colleges and Universities (HACU) make up about two-thirds of Hispanic enrollment in American higher education.\u00a0 In 2022 the Department of State renewed its Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with HACU, including to increase awareness and participation by the Hispanic community in the United States in programs like Fulbright.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Since 1946, the Fulbright Program has provided more than 400,000 students, scholars, artists, teachers, and professionals the opportunity to study, teach, and conduct research abroad.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
