Ringling College of Art and Design is proud to announce that senior Hannah Liller ’26, Illustration, has been named an Alternate for a Fulbright U.S. Student Program English Teaching Assistant (ETA) award to Laos for the 2025–2026 academic year, as designated by the U.S. Department of State and the Fulbright Foreign Scholarship Board. Being named an Alternate is a significant honor, recognizing Liller as a highly competitive candidate, she will be offered the award should a primary awardee be unable to participate.
As a Fulbright ETA, Liller would be placed in a Laotian school to assist local English teachers and serve as a cultural ambassador, fostering mutual understanding between the United States and Laos at the community level.
Since 1946, the Fulbright Program has provided over 400,000 students, scholars, teachers, artists, and professionals the opportunity to study, teach, and conduct research abroad, including 62 Nobel Laureates and 93 Pulitzer Prize winners. More than 2,000 Fulbright U.S. Students pursue graduate study, research, or English teaching in schools abroad each year. Fulbright is a program of the U.S. Department of State, implemented in the United States by the Institute of International Education.
