Todd Abbott ’19 awarded Fulbright Grant to Malaysia

Todd Abbott ’19 (international business and marketing double major, politics and Spanish double minor, and current Messiah College student body president) has been awarded a Fulbright Grant to Malaysia by the U.S. Department of State. Abbott’s one-year grant assignment will begin in January 2020, allowing him to research, teach English, and integrate with the local community under the larger context of representing America and strengthening international relations. Fulbright is the world’s largest and most diverse international educational exchange program, and the award is a reflection of Abbott’s leadership and contributions to society.

The Fulbright Program is devoted to increasing mutual understanding between the people of the United States and the people of other countries. With this grant, Abbott will have the opportunity to work collaboratively with international partners in educational, political, cultural, economic and scientific fields while also engaging with community members. This grant is made possible through funds appropriated annually by the U.S. Congress and contributions from partner countries and the private sector.
