Sixteen Johns Hopkins University students and recent graduates have been awarded grants, offering opportunities for students and young professionals to undertake international graduate study, advanced research, university teaching, and school teaching worldwide.
With the Fulbright Study/Research grant, a student designs a proposal for a specific country. The program aims to facilitate cultural exchange and promote mutual understanding by supporting study or research abroad.
Named for the late Sen. J. William Fulbright, who sponsored legislation creating the prestigious scholarship, the Fulbright Scholar Program is the country’s largest educational exchange program. Approximately 8,000 grants are awarded each year, and the program operates in more than 155 countries.
The recipients are:
Himanshu Dashora; Callie Deng; Anna Hasche-Kluender; Alexander Kossak; Kat Lewis; Shivani Mehta; Diana Rayes; Tomasz Robak; Arunima Vijay; Carolyn Xue; Karla Bachiller; Michael Broida; Elisabeth Fassas; Mallika Iyer; William Theodorou; Sarah Watson.
Six other students at Johns Hopkins were named alternates for Fulbright Grants this year. More than 325,400 students have been awarded Fulbright grants since the program’s inception in 1946. The Fulbright is administered by the U.S. Department of State’s Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs.
