Two Fulbright Alumni, Vanessa Diaz, and Elena Perez started Fulbright Latinx community on instagram -- @Fulbrightlatinx -- to reach out to past and present Latinx Fulbrighters who would want to be featured on our Instagram. We would be incredibly appreciative if we could share your story, which we would add to our Instagram feed. By sharing your story, we would not only celebrate the accomplishments of Fulbright Latinx scholars, but also hope to motivate more Latinx candidates to apply for a Fulbright! As you may already know, the Latinx representation in the U.S Student Program doesn't adequately represent our country's Latinx population. We hope that by creating this Instagram initiative, we can increase awareness of the Fulbright program and hopefully inspire future applicants to follow in the footsteps of inspiring Latinx scholars, like you!If you would like to encourage people in the US Latinx community, just send us a brief explanation of your Fulbright experience, how it's impacted your current trajectory, and a photo of yourself. Email us at fulbrightlatinx@gmail.com!
