Two Texas State University master’s students and two recent graduates have received Fulbright U.S. Student Program awards from the U.S. Department of State and the Fulbright Foreign Scholarship Board for the 2023-24 award year.
Keegan Beane, a master’s student studying biological anthropology, and Teri Edwards, who earned her master’s in geography in 2022, received Fulbright awards to conduct independent research projects. Aaron Sturk, who received his bachelor’s in sociology in 2022, and Olivia Vance, a master’s student studying Spanish, received Fulbright awards to pursue a teaching assistantship in English.
“We are not only deeply proud of these Texas State students and our recent alumni, but we are also honored to have them serve—in multiple countries and on multiple continents— as outstanding cultural ambassadors for the United States, our institution, and our diverse campus community,” said Gene Bourgeois, provost and vice president for academic affairs at Texas State. “Their significant teaching and research activities will inspire and motivate more of our remarkable Texas State students to apply to the Fulbright U.S. Student Program.”
