TIffany received the Fulbright English Teaching Assistantship for Taiwan.
Anna received the Fulbright English Teaching Assistant for Moldova. Anna says, "As a Fulbright Teaching Assistant Award recipient, I am overwhelmed with gratitude and excitement to have the opportunity to connect with my heritage, immerse myself in the language and culture of my parents' home country, and inspire a new generation of learners. This award is not just a personal accomplishment, but a testament to the sacrifices and hard work of my immigrant parents, whose dreams and aspirations have become my own. I am honored to represent the Fulbright program and grateful for the chance to learn from and give back to Moldova, which has shaped my identity and enriched my life in countless ways."
