Application components:
Sarah has received a Fulbright scholarship to pursue her graduate education at National Cheng Kung University (NCKU) in Taiwan to complete her master’s degree in creative industries design. “Creative industries design is a multidisciplinary study that incorporates marketing, the innovation processes, business, sustainability, and artistic and creative elements,” says Sarah.
As a Fulbright Scholar, Sophia will attend graduate school at the University of York to earn a master's degree in medical history and humanities so she can shed light on the often overlooked and misinterpreted human experience of those with disabilities throughout history.
As a Fulbright Canada Mitacs awardeee, Paige will work with researchers at the University Institute of Cardiology and Pulmonology of Quebec through Laval University on characterizing of neurons in the hypothalamus. The project will target specific receptors in mice in hopes of developing new medications to aid in the treatment of metabolic diseases, including type 2 diabetes. Working on an international research team as an undergraduate will be valuable to Paige as she pursues medical school.
Emma will head to Paris and Neuilly-en-Sancerre, France, to study collections sourced from former French colonies at the National Museum of Natural History to build a new body of ceramic work inspired by the collections and traditional French craftsmanship.
As a Fulbright Canada Mitacs awardeee, Finn will work with the Université de Sherbrooke to examine the impact of young children’s digital media use during the COVID-19 pandemic on health and developmental outcomes. “We're looking at how this affects physical health and academic outcomes when the children first start school, and how the child's individual and family situations contribute to their use of digital media,” says Finn.
