Five West Virginia University alumni are recipients of prestigious Fulbright Scholarships to teach English or conduct research abroad over the next year while building cross-cultural relationships.
A chance decision in high school and the inspiring poster of a previous dual scholarship recipient has led a West Virginia University senior to the laboratory of one of the University’s notable researchers and her own Goldwater and Udall scholarships.
Bryan Ho, originally from Martinsburg, and Zachary Ellis, a native of Renick, were named to WVU’s third and final cohort for the award which was initially granted to the University in 2020. Both students are biochemistry majors and members of the WVU Honors College.
