A year ago, a record five TCU students received Fulbright U.S. Scholar Awards. This year, Horned Frog students have set a new standard.

Six May graduates were selected for the prestigious national award for 2014-15. Four will teach English for a year somewhere in the world, one will conduct research, and one will work with faith-based Esperanza International in the Dominican Republic. A seventh student was a recipient of the Princeton-in-Africa Fellowship, which rates on par with the Fulbright.

These super-smart Frogs will share their skills in seven countries on three continents. Where are they going, what work will they do and why does the opportunity mean so much to them? After graduation in May, they told us.
