Grace Reed, a sophomore from University Place, Wash., majoring in English, is headed for Nottingham Trent University to study “Creativity, Culture, History and Heritage” for four weeks this summer.
Reed is one of three WSU undergraduates going to England and Scotland as the University’s first recipients of Fulbright UK Summer Institute awards.
“It is quite an accomplishment for WSU to have three students accepted for the Fulbright UK,” said Sarah Ann Hones, director of the Distinguished Scholarships Program, part of the WSU Office of Undergraduate Education.
The students will experience the UK; develop their research, communication and presentation skills; and perform community service. The Fulbright program will cover most of their costs.
Twelve WSU undergraduates went through the rigorous process of applying for the awards.
