The U.S. Embassy is pleased to announce that Grenadian national Moriah Howard has been awarded a Fulbright Foreign Student Scholarship. Howard, a trained phlebotomist, earned a Bachelor of Science in Biology from St. George’s University in 2022. She will pursue a Master of Science in Biology at Western Illinois University beginning in August 2025. Her program of study will run for two academic years and will provide advanced training in the biomedical sciences, with access to research and technology at the forefront of the field.
Howard intends to focus on microbiology with the goal of contributing to the treatment, prevention, and control of diseases that impact public health in Grenada. Her academic and professional pursuits align with the Fulbright Program’s mission of fostering mutual understanding between the people of the United States and other nations while addressing global challenges through research and collaboration.
The Fulbright Program is the U.S. government’s flagship international academic exchange initiative. Since its inception in 1946, the program has provided more than 400,000 participants from over 160 countries the opportunity to study, teach, and conduct research, building lasting connections and advancing knowledge across communities and borders. The U.S. Embassy congratulates Howard on her selection and looks forward to the contributions she will make through her studies in the United States and upon her return to Grenada.
