The Fulbright U.S. Student Program offers research, study and teaching opportunities in more than 140 countries to recent graduates and graduate students. Administered in the U.S. by the Department of State's Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs, the Fulbright program was established in 1946 to promote international goodwill through education and cultural exchange.

“Receiving this award feels like the culmination of years of hard work, and I could not be more honored to represent the University of Louisville as a Fulbright ETA. I hope to carry with me all the lessons and stories of my time in Louisville to my future community in Spain."
