About the Fulbright Award
The Fulbright Program, sponsored by the U.S. Department of State with additional support provided by participating governments and international host institutions, is our country’s largest international exchange program. It offers opportunities for students, scholars, and professionals to undertake advanced research, teaching, and learning opportunities in locations around the world. As established by Congress in 1946, the goal of the program is to “increase mutual understanding between people of the United States and the people of other countries.”
The international scope of these awards make OHIO’s Fulbright scholars our adventurers—and our ambassadors—as they apply the academic skills they’ve honed at Ohio University in continuing their studies around the world.

Anthony Austin
Anthony is a third-year doctoral student in experimental psychology from Franklin, Tennessee. He will use the Fulbright grant to conduct his dissertation research in Bern, Switzerland, where he will study with a leading researcher on the relationship between psychological stress and blood clotting. He hopes to pinpoint mechanisms linking acute psychological stress to acute coronary syndromes such as strokes and heart attacks. He would like to eventually acquire a professorship at a university that will allow him to split his time between teaching and carrying out research.
Anthony’s other accomplishments include receiving the 2009 Student Enhancement Award and serving as instructor of Psychology 312. He also served on the Curriculum, Scholarships and Awards Committee for the psychology department from 2008 to 2009 and a published an article in "Stress and Health."
“Anthony is one of the most driven individuals I’ve worked with. He is a workaholic, but he is good at allocating his time. He is also multifaceted, and as a part of his Fulbright he will be staring an ultimate Frisbee team in Switzerland.”
Stephen Patterson, associate professor of psychology
