Holy Cross Announces Nine Fulbright Scholar Recipients
Tuesday, June 03, 2014
Since 2005, Holy Cross has received a total of 70 Fulbright grants, which ranks them consistently as one of the nation’s top producers of Fulbright students at the undergraduate level.
“We had another strong Fulbright year with nine recipients — six English teaching assistants and three research grantees,” says Anthony B. Cashman, director of Distinguished Fellowships and Graduate Studies at the College. “For the English teaching assistants, the countries are quite spread out and include Kyrgyzstan, where Kyle Olsen will be the first-ever Holy Cross Fulbrighter. For the research Fulbrights, Michael Daly '12 will pursue a master's in security studies at the University of Sussex in England. Martha Walters '14 will study organic farming in Indonesia, and Christine Roughan will use her classics training to learn about the burgeoning field of digital humanities at the University of Leipzig in Germany.”
The Fulbright program is sponsored by the US Department of State and is widely recognized as the most prestigious international exchange programs in the world. The grants are highly competitive and are awarded based on academic merit and professional promise. Each year approximately 1,900 US college students are awarded Fulbright grants.
