Two UA Students Named Fulbright Scholars

TUSCALOOSA, Ala.—University of Alabama students Megan Carper of Decatur and Amanda McMillan of Monroeville have been named 2006 Fulbright Scholars.
Carper, a psychology and international relations major at UA, will teach English as a foreign language in Turkey through her Fulbright appointment.
McMillan, a math and German major at the Capstone, will teach English as a foreign language in Germany through the Fulbright Program.
Fulbright scholars receive round-trip transportation, tuition, book and research allowances, supplemental health and accident insurance, and living expenses for an academic year in an effort to increase mutual understanding between people of the U.S. and people of other countries.
The Fulbright Scholarship Program, sponsored by the U.S. Department of State, is the largest U.S. international exchange program offering opportunities for students, scholars and professionals. The program allows participants to undertake international graduate study, advanced research, and teaching in universities, elementary and secondary schools in more than 150 countries.
