Hosemann was harkening back to the 1982 session, when former Gov. William Winter ushered one of the state’s most transformative legislative education packages.

College students yearning for adventure have until March 2 to apply for fellowships of up to $5,000 through the Michael P. Metcalf Memorial Fund at the Rhode Island Foundation. Recipients
will have until Dec. 31, 2022, complete their travel. These fellowships can be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for students to follow their dreams. In times like this, that s more important than ever. This can give students something extraordinary to look forward to as the pandemic subsides in time, said Kelly Riley, who administers the program.
The Foundation will give students the funding to pursue self-designed enrichment projects that include travel. Over the years, the fund has awarded fellowships to more than 100 students to visit sites ranging from Appalachia to Zaire. Past recipients have performed at an improv festival in Minnesota, done an internship in Washington, D.C., and volunteered at a Costa Rican orphanage.
