BOWLING GREEN, Ky. – Two Western Kentucky University students have been awarded Fulbright US Student Grants for the 2021-22 academic year by the U.S. Department of State and the J. William Fulbright Foreign Scholarship Board.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Ariana Pedigo, of Russellville, and Reuben Tang, of Glasgow, are among a smaller than usual cohort of graduating seniors and recent graduates nationwide selected from a larger than usual pool of applicants. Grantees are selected on the basis of academic and professional achievement as well as record of service and leadership potential in their respective fields.
The Fulbright US Student Program funds an academic year of research, study or English teaching in one of about 140 countries worldwide. Pedigo will use her Fulbright grant to conduct research in Mongolia, and Tang will serve as a Fulbright English Teaching Assistant in Taiwan.

Meaghan Teitelman ’18
DELAWARE, Ohio – Ohio Wesleyan University graduate Meaghan Teitelman, Class of 2018, has earned a highly competitive Fulbright U.S. Student Program fellowship to spend eight months teaching English in Lyon, France.
As an OWU student, Teitelman was a French and Sociology and Anthropology double major and a Spanish minor. She currently teaches French at the Laurel School, a private, independent day school for girls in Shaker Heights, Ohio. Teitelman will begin her Fulbright assignment as a high school English Teaching Assistant (ETA) in September.
“My career goal, and my reason for seeking this grant, is because I want to be a great French teacher in the United States,” Teitelman said. “While in France, I hope to travel as much as I can, to connect with French people and immigrants/international residents of France, and to better my language skills so that I can return to the U.S. and be the teacher I hope to be.”
