Three Salve Regina alumni have been selected as semi-finalists in the Fulbright U.S. Student competition, which is the most semi-finalists that the University has ever had in a given year.

The Fulbright Program is the flagship international educational exchange program sponsored by the U.S. government, and it is designed to forge lasting connections between the people of the United States and the people of other countries.

Since its establishment in 1946, the Fulbright Program has enabled more than 390,000 dedicated and accomplished students, scholars, artists, teachers and professionals of all backgrounds to study, teach and conduct research, all the while exchanging ideas and finding solutions to shared international concerns.
