Class Gift 2017

4.07.17

Many thanks to members of the 2016-17 cohort, who kindly contributed to our Class Gift campaign. A special note of thanks to our class ambassadors, Aurimas Bukauskas and Richard Wade.

Fulbright Futures supports two scholarships funded entirely by gifts from alumni.

A gift to Fulbright Futures is an investment in the education of future leaders and the future of Fulbright. It honours the history and purpose of the Fulbright programme, and ensures an exciting future for many more Fulbrighters to come.

Donations raised from Fulbright Futures contribute to the newly created UK Alumni and US Alumni Postgraduate Awards.

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!

"The focus and self-sacrifice of the Fulbrighters in addressing really difficult social, political, and technical problems is humbling and eye-opening. We've had political action meetings, hiked the English countryside, and had many deep conversations. These friendships, and the expansion of thought from this experience will change the course of my career and life decisions. I sincerely hope that inspired, passionate young people in the future will continue to have this opportunity, and I would like to do whatever I can to help them get there."
