Two A&S students awarded Fulbright Scholarships to study abroad
Albert Palma and Zachery Watkins are the latest to carry on UNM's tradition of providing exceptional students excited to serve as Fulbright scholars. In the last five years, UNM has produced 13 Fulbright scholars in a variety of fields going to a number of different countries.
"I'm proud of the precedent our students are setting," UNM President David Schmidly said. "Year after year, they grasp opportunities and succeed. These students are among our best at UNM and I know that they will represent our university and the state of New Mexico well as they take their scholarship and service out into the world as Fulbright scholars."
The Fulbright Program pays all expenses and provides a stipend, insurance and travel costs for a full academic year, according to Ken Carpenter, associate director, International Programs and Studies. [More] |
