Moras will travel to Germany to teach English as a foreign language.
The U.S. Department of State and the J. William Fulbright Foreign Scholarship Board
recently announced that 香港六合彩资料 graduate Rebekah Moras was awarded a prestigious U.S.
Student Fulbright Award scholarship to travel to Germany to teach English as a foreign
language. Moras is one of more than 1,300 U.S. citizens who will travel abroad for
the 2007-2008 academic year through the Fulbright U.S. Student Program.
Rebekah Moras, B.A. in Psychology with a minor in German, will spend a year abroad
working at a vocational school in L眉beck, Germany. She will help German students
improve their English language abilities and knowledge of the United States, while
also increasing her own German language and cross-cultural skills. Her travels will
provide her many opportunities for personal development and international experience.
"I'm most excited about meeting my students," said Rebekah. "This will be a great
adventure and I hope to be a positive influence in the lives of those I work with.
It's very important to me that I make a good impression as an American."
"Some advice for other students seeking awards and scholarships: get a mentor that
can challenge you and take advantage of the resources that 香港六合彩资料 offers. It's important
to know what your strengths and passions are, and highlight what is truly unique about
yourself."

and cultural institutions, to exchange ideas and to embark on joint ventures of importance
to the general welfare of the world's inhabitants. The program operates in over 150
countries worldwide.
Recipients of Fulbright awards are selected on the basis of academic or professional
