Fulbrights
Doane University has an impressive tradition of Fulbright Scholarship recipients, with 67 recipients in the last 64 years.
The Fulbright Program awards special scholarships to students, teachers and scholars each year to study, teach and conduct research at international sites.
The Fulbright Program began in 1946. It is sponsored by the U.S. Department of State’s Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs, and has become the U.S. government’s flagship international exchange program, supported by the American people and partner countries around the world.
Our students have represented Doane in 14 different countries, with 43 graduates participating in The Fulbright Program in Germany.
