Critical Language Scholarship selects two seniors as finalists and three as alternates
UNG seniors Bailey Pieplow and Zoe Rumbaugh were selected as finalists for the Critical Language Scholarship.
Last month, six University of North Georgia (UNG) students were elated to learn that they were semifinalists for the Critical Language Scholarship (CLS). But they still had one more step to go.
In late March, two were designated as finalists and three were deemed alternates for the highly competitive national program that funds American undergraduate and graduate students to complete intensive language study abroad in the summer.
Finalists are Bailey Pieplow, a senior pursuing degrees in Spanish and modern languages with a Chinese language and literature concentration, and Zoe Rumbaugh, a senior pursuing degrees in East Asian studies and modern languages with a Chinese for global professionals concentration.
Fulbright selects 18 semifinalists from UNG
Eighteen UNG students and alumni have been selected as semifinalists for the Fulbright U.S. Student Program, which is a prestigious, highly competitive fellowship program.
Record-setting is one word to describe the University of North Georgia s (UNG) efforts to secure students and alumni placement in the Fulbright U.S. Student Program.
This spring, UNG has 18 semifinalists for the prestigious, highly competitive fellowship program. It bests the previous high mark of 13 semifinalists from 2019. Last year, only 16 from UNG applied for the Fulbright.
Dr. Anastasia Lin, assistant vice president of research and engagement and head of UNG s Nationally Competitive Scholarships office, credited the achievement to the record 27 Fulbright applicants and their exceptional academic and co-curricular preparation for a national award.
