Two additional Pitt students were awarded Fulbright scholarships in late May, bringing this year’s total of students who received the prestigious award to 13.
The names of 11 winners were previously published by The Pitt News in late April as the most complete list available at that time. Fulbright scholarships are announced on a rolling basis. The two most recent recipients, Abby Jarrett and Ivy Yen, will conduct research in Germany and teach English in South Korea, respectively.
The U.S. State Department’s Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs, which sponsors the program, awards about 1,900 scholarships every year to college graduates to spend time abroad teaching English, conducting research or earning a master’s degree. According to the program’s website, it’s designed to “increase mutual understanding between the people of the United States and the people of other countries.”
