"My Fulbright Award gave me the opportunity to work with a top scholar in my field of study; participate in relevant conferences and make lifelong friends."

Portia Owusu, Fulbright Postgraduate Award, University of Kansas 2015-16
Since beginning my MFA I have been given opportunities that were unattainable in Northern Ireland. Having the opportunity to make new work in the USA has led to my photographs being exhibited in New York, Ping Yao, Beijing and St Petersburg, all in less than one year of joining the school. I would like to extend my most sincere thanks to all those who kindly donated towards my university experience. It has changed my life and allowed me to accomplish goals that seemed impossible just two years ago. Thank you!

"I wanted to pursue oncology research in a translational lab driving its research towards clinical application. The healthcare system is so different in the USA. I thought pursuing research in the USA would make me a more rounded clinician scientist at this early stage of my career."
