U of A's Fulbright College Introduces 2023 Sturgis Fellows

Five incoming freshmen from Arkansas will join the distinguished list of Sturgis Fellows in the Fulbright College of Arts and Sciences this fall.

"It's such an honor to welcome the new class of outstanding Sturgis Fellows to campus each year," said Kathryn Sloan, interim dean of Fulbright College. "These students are among the best and brightest in Arkansas and are so impressive. Each has already accomplished so much, and through this fellowship opportunity will hopefully have the tools and support to further their education and reach for their next dream."

"We are honored to welcome them to our Fulbright College family, and can't wait to see what each accomplishes next," she added.

The Sturgis Fellowship is one of the U of A's oldest, most esteemed fellowship programs. It awards each fellow $80,000 during their four years to cover tuition, room and board, and educational tools such as computer hardware and software, high-quality musical instruments, access to professional journals, and participation at academic conferences.

All Sturgis Fellows are actively pursuing a major within Fulbright College, completing an intensive academic program, and writing an independent thesis. They are also encouraged to study abroad and pursue internship opportunities during their time at the U of A. All Sturgis Fellows will graduate with honors.

The fellowships and their associated opportunities are made possible by the continued support of the Roy and Christine Sturgis Charitable and Educational Trust.
