The Dean of the College Office is thrilled to announce that Cindy Lung ’12 has been awarded a Luce Scholarship.  Lung is among 18 scholars chosen from among 155 outstanding nominees and 75 nominating institutions. 

Born in San Francisco, California and raised in nearby San Lorenzo, Lung graduated with degrees in Education Studies and Sociology and went on to earn her Master’s in Education Policy.  During her years at Brown, she worked for notable research institutions and non-profit organizations, including the Annenberg Institute for School Reform, the Education Alliance, and Rhode Island Kids Count.  Currently, Lung is spending nine months as a Fulbright Fellow in Prizren, Kosovo serving as an assistant English Instructor at a public school and volunteering for the American corners program.  

The Luce Scholars Program is a nationally competitive fellowship program launched by the Henry Luce Foundation in 1974 to enhance the understanding of Asia among potential leaders in American society. The program provides stipends, language training, and individualized professional placement in Asia for 15-18 Luce Scholars each year, and welcomes applications from college seniors, graduate students, and young professionals in a variety of fields who have had limited exposure to Asia.
