Fulbright Success Stories
Kamar, Lebanon
MA Anthropology, Texas State University.
As a Fulbright scholar from Lebanon studying at Texas State University, I had the opportunity to create the first Ramadan event on my campus. During my time at Texas State, I became involved in my school’s International Office, and when I noticed there was no an event for the holy month of Ramadan, I was inspired to create one.
Dalal, West Bank
MA Journalism, University of Arizona
This summer I had a blast interning at The Northwest Explorer office which hosts the Tucson Local Media in Tucson, Arizona. Tucson Local Media is home to weekly newspapers that cover the areas of Oro Valley and Marana as well as other neighboring communities in Tucson. As the ten weeks went by, I came to realize the joy that comes with the responsibility of working as a news reporter.
Manar, Gaza
MA International Relations, New York University
After I finished my master’s in the United States, I went back to Gaza. One of the most important projects I have been working on has been teaching the English Access Microscholarship Program, funded by the U.S. Consulate in Jerusalem and administered by Amideast. I have never enjoyed teaching English as much as I do now, and I absolutely love working with teenagers on personal development and community engagement.
