                            HON. BILLY LONG

                     Wednesday, September 21, 2016

  Mr. LONG. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Walnut Shade, Missouri 
resident Sarah Hubbard for being awarded the Fulbright Scholarship by 
the U.S. State Department.
  The Fulbright Scholarship program was established by Congress in 1946 
and signed into law by President Harry S. Truman. This scholarship was 
designed to build positive relationships with other countries while 
allowing recipients to live the day-to-day experiences of other 
cultures. Sarah Hubbard will join the already 370,000 past participants 
in this program.
  This scholarship is a merit based scholarship that is highly 
competitive. Founded originally by Senator J. William Fulbright, this 
grant aims to have educational research and teachings extend beyond the 
United States.
  Sarah Hubbard, who attended John Brown University, will be an English 
Teaching Assistant and placed in Turkey. She has presented at research 
conferences since her freshman year and is the first student in John 
Brown University history to receive the award.
  I am honored to recognize Sarah Hubbard, and I congratulate her on 
receiving the Fulbright Scholarship.
