<p>The best of the best rake in undergraduate awards…

Working with this group of students is an absolute dream come true," said D. Craig Filar, director of the Office of National Fellowships. “These are the best and brightest students that we have here at Florida State University, and they bring such a great amount of energy to everything they do. You can’t help but be inspired by the amazing amount of intelligence, talent and drive they exhibit. These are young people who are ready to take on the world.”</p>

<p>The scholars Filar refers to come from a wide variety of disciplines, but they all have one thing in common: They reflect the overall academic excellence of the more than 31,000 undergraduate students currently attending Florida State.</p>

<p>Among the many success stories are recipients of one of the most widely recognized and esteemed academic awards of them all — the Fulbright. Sponsored by the U.S. Department of State, the Fulbright U.S. Student Program offers fellowships for graduating college seniors, graduate students, young professionals and artists to study, conduct research and/or teach English abroad.
