Eleven Kenyon seniors and recent graduates, plus two faculty members, have been awarded J. William Fulbright Fellowships, with three seniors selected as alternates. Recipients of the coveted Fulbright fellowship, if they choose to accept it, receive grants to serve as English teaching assistants (ETAs) or conduct research abroad.
