Rudacille and kabir were among 40 students selected nationwide from 155 finalists from 41 partner schools to receive the $40,000 fellowship stipend from the Thomas J. Watson Foundation. The fellowship program offers “college graduates of unusual promise a year of purposeful, independent exploration and international travel to enhance their capacity for resourcefulness, imagination, openness, and leadership and to foster their humane and effective participation in the world community.”

Grinnell College was recognized with a GrinnTogether Award at the Grinnell Area Chamber of Commerce Annual Celebration on March 4, honoring the College’s positive collaborations and exemplary work to make Grinnell a great place to live, learn, work, and play.

Two Grinnell College students have been selected as this year’s recipients of the Fischlowitz Travel Fellowship, a program that supports students coming to Grinnell from outside of the U.S. to pursue casual yet purposeful independent travel in the United States centered around a theme of deep personal and intellectual exploration.
