Recipients of the Fulbright Scholar awards are selected on the basis of academic or professional achievement. Over 285,000 emerging leaders in their professional fields have received Fulbright awards, including individuals who later became heads of government, Nobel Prize winners, and leaders in education, business, journalism, the arts and other fields.
Tom’s family will be with him during his trip to Romania and they have set up a website to track their travels, https://www.tomrawlings.com, which can also be accessed through the Georgia Military College website.
