BOWLING GREEN, Ky. – Two Western Kentucky University students have been awarded Fulbright US Student Grants for the 2021-22 academic year by the U.S. Department of State and the J. William Fulbright Foreign Scholarship Board.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Ariana Pedigo, of Russellville, and Reuben Tang, of Glasgow, are among a smaller than usual cohort of graduating seniors and recent graduates nationwide selected from a larger than usual pool of applicants. Grantees are selected on the basis of academic and professional achievement as well as record of service and leadership potential in their respective fields.
The Fulbright US Student Program funds an academic year of research, study or English teaching in one of about 140 countries worldwide. Pedigo will use her Fulbright grant to conduct research in Mongolia, and Tang will serve as a Fulbright English Teaching Assistant in Taiwan.
