Protect Ohio Fulbright students!

To: Rep. Newman, Sen. Huffman, Gov. DeWine

From: A constituent in West Milton, OH

March 8

There are many great higher learning institutions in the great state of Ohio. Many of them offer wonderful scholarships. Just heard from the Fulbright Association. As of right now, funding has been cut off to 12,500 US citizens currently abroad and and more than 7,400 foreigner scholars and students in the United States How dare we allow this to happen? We must reinstate the funding immediately. Our students are our future. We can’t leave them stranded overseas?! Are you going to allow students in Ohio to be without their stipends in foreign countries? While they try to better our world? Also, EVEN IF Fulbright gets reinstated, it’s just another way we shove out and take opportunities from young people without a familial safety net. How can I advise any future student without a familial safety net to ever apply for a program like this in the future, if this is what can happen? Will students even be interested in attending an Ohio State football game? Or be rivals like Toledo and Bowling Green? Please stop Trump and Musk from the devastation of the American dream. Demand that they reinstate the Fulbright funding now! Protect college students in Ohio!
