Three U.S. scholars have been awarded the Fulbright Finland Foundation’s new strategic grant, the Seeking Solutions for Global Challenges Award, for the academic year 2021-22. The inaugural recipients of the award are Associate Professor Peter Friedrich from Berry College, Associate Professor Lora Harris from the University of Maryland, and Professor Steven Livingston from George Washington University.
On this first application round the new award immediately became one of the most viewed awards in the global Fulbright U.S. Scholar Catalog listing over 400 Fulbright scholar awards around the world. Due to the very high quality of applications, the Board of Directors of the Foundation decided to fund three inaugural awards.
