Four New College of Florida Students Awarded Fulbright Grants for 2014.
Four students at New College of Florida were awarded prestigious Fulbright grants for 2014 and will study and work in Belarus, Taiwan, India and Germany.
This year’s recipients are Erich Barganier (St. Petersburg, Fla.), Robert Matthew Klinkel (Orlando, Fla.), Laura Robinson (Jacksonville, Fla.) and Richard Zay (Inverness, Fla.). All are expected to graduate in May.
In addition, three students were chosen as alternates: fourth-year students Robert Hincapie and Katherine Williams, and Lorna Hadlock, a 2013 graduate.
New College now has 57 Fulbright recipients in the last 10 years, and 79 in its history. The Chronicle of Higher Education ranks New College as one of the top producers of Fulbright scholars, and the College has more Fulbright recipients per student than almost any other college.
Fulbright recipients often go on to significant positions in government, academia and the arts, including 53 who have received the Nobel Prize.
