Carson Haberyan ('25) has received a Fulbright U.S. Student Program award for the 2025-26 academic year.
The Fulbright program expands perspectives through academic and professional advancement and cross-cultural dialogue. In partnership with more than 140 countries worldwide, the program offers unparalleled opportunities in all academic disciplines to passionate and accomplished graduating college seniors, graduate students and young professionals.
Haberyan graduated in May with a Bachelor of Arts with highest distinction in French and secondary education. His experiences with language learning drove him to apply for a Fulbright English Teaching Assistantship, which will develop his skills in teaching and deepen cultural knowledge he can share with students. Haberyan is a strong advocate for accessible foreign language education and wants to create spaces for students of varied backgrounds to engage with each other. During his time at Nebraska, he served as a resident assistant and president of the French/Francophone Club. He has been offered a teaching assistant placement in the Bordeaux region with a Fulbright-French Government English Teaching Assistant Award.
Program participants pursue graduate study, conduct research or teach English abroad. Recipients are selected based on academic or professional achievement, as well as demonstrated leadership potential in their fields. In all, 14 Husker students and recent alumni were recommended to host countries and recognized by the U.S. National Screening Committee as semifinalists.
