Hamline Senior Matt Glass has won a Fulbright scholarship to study in Vienna, Austria for 12 months. He is the first Hamline undergraduate to be awarded the Fulbright by Austria.

Austria traditionally awards the Fulbright only to doctoral candidates, according to German professor Russ Christensen. He said six German students applied for the Fulbright this year. Among them, Glass and senior Jake Kruger set their sights extra high by applying to Austria.
