Abrita Kuthumi, Marshall Scholar

Abrita Kuthumi (Political Science/International Affairs '21), who moved to New Hampshire when she was 10,  is the first UNH student to receive a prestigious Marshall Scholarship. While in the UK, Abrita will earn two master's degrees in two years: one in international education and development from the University of Sussex, and the other in South Asian area studies from The School of Oriental African Studies (SOAS) at the University of London.

About the Marshall Scholarship: Marshall Scholars strengthen the enduring relationship between the British and American peoples, their governments and their institutions. Marshall Scholars are talented, independent and wide-ranging, and their time as Scholars enhances their intellectual and personal growth. Their direct engagement with Britain through its best academic programs contributes to their ultimate personal success.
