    2020 Fulbright Finalists

    [music plays]

    [Dr. Anastasia Lin]

    The Fulbright is a dream maker scholarship. It gives students the

    opportunity to conduct research, teach English, or earn a graduate degree in one

    of 150 countries worldwide fully funded for a year.

    The reason it's a dream maker scholarship is because it's open to any student from

    any major or background. This year alone we have five students selected for

    Fulbright. Four of them will teach English and one will pursue a graduate degree.

    [Bernhard "Benny" Purk]

    [December 2018 graduate]

    I actually heard about the Fulbright scholarship program when I was

    doing my internship in Germany two summers ago. Dr. Lin emailed me about the

    program letting me know that I might be a good candidate for it and that's how it all started.

    [Madelyn Beacham]

    [December 2019 graduate]

    I had just recently gotten back from six months in Jordan

    and I was looking for another opportunity to live abroad for an

    extended amount of time and Fulbright was the perfect opportunity for those goals.

    I chose to study Turkey because first of all it has the university that

    I want to study at in Istanbul and second because it's a really great place

    to study refugees and irregular migration in general.

    [Emile Phommavongsky]

    [May 2017 graduate]

    Once in Laos, I really hope to help people improve their communication skills and

    their relationship-building skills which is crucial especially in ever-growing,

    ever-expanding world and economy.

    [Karley Matthews]

    [December 2019 graduate]

    As an aspiring interpreter, I need to be able

    to understand everything that has to do with the language and the culture and

    the Fulbright grant can help me with this by allowing me to spend time in a

    country and invest in the people and learn all these things that will help me

    become an interpreter.

    [Candace Seabolt]

    [senior from Blue Ridge, Georgia]

    Earning this scholarship has made me feel like I

    can accomplish anything that I set my mind to. It means that all my hard work

    has paid off.
