SCHOLARSHIP AND FELLOWSHIP UPDATES FOR THE TEMPLE COMMUNITY
2019-2020 YEAR IN REVIEW
Our final Fulbright US Student Program tally is exciting: 16 recipients and two alternates (plus at least one other Temple recipient who applied "at large"). They represent seven Temple schools: Liberal Arts, Engineering, Education, Tyler, Klein, Public Health, and Fox. This is the largest cohort of Fulbright recipients ever, exceeding our previous record of 10. Congratulations to this impressive group of students and alumni, and thank you to the large community of Temple faculty and administrators who have supported the program.
Two of our undergraduates (Dylan Chirman in CST and Eva Dinino in Klein) were among the inaugural cohort of the Fulbright Canada Mitacs Globalink program, designed to support undergraduate research in Canada. Unfortunately, that program has been cancelled for the summer, but we still want to recognize Dylan's and Eva's accomplishment.
For the first time, two Temple students have won the Goldwater Scholarship in one cycle. Congratulations to Leah DeFlitch in CST, and Daniel Jovin in Engineering.
Unsuccessful in your first scholarship or fellowship application? Read the short post by Maggie Andresen, "Rejection as Opportunity," after winning the Fulbright on her third attempt.
Be sure to check out our list of graduate school plans at the end of the newsletter. Many students cite how applying for fellowships as an undergraduate helps them to articulate their trajectory and motivations better when they apply for graduate school, and this group of Temple students and alumni seems to make the case!
