Prairie View A&M University Spring 2025 political science graduate Amya Fedd was completing judicial clerkship work with City of Fort Worth judges when she received the news. She’d been selected for a Fulbright Research Fellowship. Fedd jumped for joy and thanked God; the months of hard work were all worth it. She shared her good news with her support circle, whom she nicknamed the “task force,” and finally let it all sink in. In a matter of weeks, she would be leaving to conduct human rights policy research in Trinidad and Tobago.
