Seniors and Alumnae/i Receive Fulbright Fellowships and Other Awards
A dozen seniors and alumnae/i have been awarded prestigious research and teaching fellowships—nine were honored with Fulbright Fellowships, two received research grants from the National Science Foundation, and one senior won a “100 Projects for Peace” prize. The Fulbright winners will spend the next year either teaching or conducting research abroad, a rite of passage for some Vassar alumnae/i, as the college one of Fulbright's top fellowship producers.
