Seven of this year's recipients of a Fulbright grant have accepted their award — and all seven are LAS students!

The Fulbright U.S. Student Program offers grants to academically and professionally outstanding students who are interested in furthering its mission of building international relationships and helping solve global challenges.

In the fall, these students will embark on journeys all across the world. They'll spend a year in places like Italy, Taiwan, Armenia, and more, teaching English or pursuing advanced degrees that will help them achieve their goals of ushering in a more connected and understanding global community.

We celebrate their incredible passion and ambition and wish them a wonderful and transformative experience abroad! Collage of all seven Fulbright grant winners that reads "Seven LAS students receive Fulbright grants."

Let's celebrate! Several amazing LAS undergraduate students have been awarded prominent scholarships this spring:

🏆 Sameer Abbasi and Lyndon Shi have received Boren Awards. This is the 11th consecutive year that at least one Illinois student has earned this scholarship!

🏆 Di Lan Johnson, Christine Nguyen, and Karel Pene (now a two-time CLS recipient!) were awarded U.S. Department of State Critical Language Scholarships.

🏆 George Bayliss was awarded a Barry M. Goldwater Scholarship. Fun fact: no university has had more Goldwater Scholarship recipients —13 — over the past three years than Illinois!

🏆 R. Fisher Houston was awarded the Udall Undergraduate Scholarship, one of only 65 recipients nationwide.

We congratulate these students on their achievements and can't wait to see what they do next! From top left, clockwise: Karel Pene, Lyndon Shi, Sameer Abbasi, and Christine Nguyen

With the semester coming to an end, LAS hosted a farewell BBQ for exchange students to celebrate the memories, friendships, and experiences shared throughout their time at Illinois 💙🧡

From food and games to lots of laughter, we’re so grateful to have shared this semester with such an amazing group of students. While we’re sad to say goodbye, we hope you take the Illinois spirit home with you. 🌎🫶
