“Fulbright provides its recipients with a unique opportunity to work directly with the host community, creating a space for cultural exchange and growth. My initial interest in Fulbright was rooted in a desire to participate in these interactions and was amplified as I learned of the opportunities to approach other cultures with a humbled-perspective, allowing myself to simply absorb and learn from these communities. It is because of this desire to understand other cultures that I am excited to be a semi-finalist for the Fulbright scholarship.”
- Emma Labovitz, Semi-Finalist
