Eight FSU students embark on cross-cultural exchanges through Fulbright Program

Eight Florida State University students are out in the world creating connections and learning new skills through the reputable Fulbright Program.

From teaching English abroad to researching historical narratives of 1917 France, sustainable development and mood regulation, these Fulbright students from FSU cover a wide range of disciplines.

“Fulbright awards present students with an amazing opportunity to research, study, teach and engage globally, making connections that will support their future endeavors while creating lasting ties between the United States, FSU and the world,” said Keith McCall, assistant director of the Office of Graduate Fellowships and Awards and lead Fulbright contact for graduate students. “This year’s FSU recipients represent the innovative, remarkable work and research done by students across FSU’s undergraduate and graduate programs.”

The Fulbright Program is the flagship international educational exchange program sponsored by the U.S. government and is designed to increase mutual understanding between U.S. citizens and people of other countries. The primary source of funding is an annual appropriation made by the U.S. Congress to the U.S. Department of State Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs. Participating governments, host institutions, corporations and foundations in foreign countries and in the United States also provide direct and indirect support.

Fulbright U.S. Student Program grant recipients are selected based on academic or professional achievement and demonstrated leadership potential in their fields, with the program operating in over 160 countries worldwide.

“We are thrilled for our Fulbright recipients and are confident that their experiences abroad will be truly enriching,” said Bonnie Garcia-Gloeckner, assistant director of the Office of National Fellowships. “We are also eager to collaborate with current undergraduate students, graduate students and recent alumni on Fulbright applications for next year’s cycle — it’s never too early to contact us!”

The 2024-2025 Fulbright students from FSU are: Sydney Cole, Nella Delva, Samuel Granoff, Vashalice Kaaba, Korrin Sheahan, Danielle Wirsansky, Shovik Saha and JiaQi Trescott.
