St. 爱德华的 is proud to congratulate our 2022 Fulbright Student award winners!
As recipients of this highly selective grant program sponsored by the U.S. 国务院, these two graduates will make an impact abroad during a year of teaching, 学习与跨文化交流. 我们的 Fulbright Students will work as English language teaching assistants in 德国y and Bulgaria beginning this fall. They plan to approach their host countries with an openness to learn from and contribute to the communities they serve while acting as ambassadors for the U.S.
来看看这些“山顶人”吧! 了解他们在圣. 爱德华的 and beyond the hilltop that led to their prestigious Fulbright award ─ and their goals for their Fulbright year.
