We are pleased to report that, despite current visa challenges, we welcomed 11 new deaf international students this fall, including three into the Master of Science in Deaf Education program. We have 12 Sasakawa-DeCaro scholars this academic year with four partial scholarship awardees and eight full scholarship awardees.

We also finalized an agreement for a tripartite partnership between NTID, Fulbright Italy, and the Wirth Foundation to support Italian students taking coursework and research in deaf education.
