Eleven of the College of William and Mary’s recent graduates have been awarded Fulbright scholarships or Austrian Government Scholarships, and two have been chosen as alternates.
In 1946 the U.S. State Department introduced the Fulbright Scholar Program, which sponsors one year of study or teaching abroad for each recipient.
“The success of William and Mary students in the Fulbright U.S. Student Program is truly exceptional,” Lisa Grimes, the College’s Student Fulbright Program advisor, said in a press release earlier this week.
