Celebrating حوإ¼½م½م’s Competitive Fellowship applicants

On Friday, November 18, members of the حوإ¼½م½م’s community gathered for the “I Hit Submitâ€‌ celebration for nine students and alumni who recently submitted their applications to four prestigious fellowships. Applicants were supported by the office of Competitive Fellowships within the Office of Scholarly Engagement, the hub for engaged learning which also includes the Antonian Honors Program, Community Work and Learning, Collaborative Research, and Global Studies. 

Each of the Fulbright, Gilman, Marshall and Soros applicants demonstrated tremendous growth in their ability to articulate and highlight their life experiences and academic endeavors to enhance their applications.  We commemorate each of our حوإ¼½م½م’s fellowships applicants for completing the rewarding and prestigious process of completing a fellowships application.

We are so proud of these amazing حوإ¼½م½م’s students and alumni. For more information on حوإ¼½م½م’s Competitive Fellowships, visit Competitive Fellowships; students can fill out an interest form to learn more.
