Seven UNG students were chosen to be part of the Fulbright Program. Congrats to the following students on their recent award!
#PSIAfamily
non-PSIA UNG students:
While UNG students and alumni have earned Fulbrights in European and Asian countries, for the first time, two recipients will head to South America. Pelletier will head to Peru on the Pacific coast while Pizano will be further southeast in Uruguay on the Atlantic coast.
UNG increased its number of finalists compared to last year and it had a banner year in applicants and semifinalists. A record 27 students and alumni applied, which led to a record-setting 18 semifinalists for UNG.
The Fulbright boot camp conducted by the Nationally Competitive Scholarships (NCS) office will begin June 1 and will run through the summer to help students develop their applications. Students interested in Fulbright or other nationally competitive scholarships should contact NCS@ung.edu to learn how the NCS office can help them apply.
