History MA Student Named Fulbright Semifinalist
Bosnia and Herzegovina is at the center of Hermina Garic’s research ambitions, and the Fulbright Program could be her next step toward uncovering its complex history. A 2025 Fulbright semifinalist, Hermina—featured in “Fulbright Semifinalists Pursue International Excellence” by Dustin Petzold—is a graduate student in Rutgers University–Camden’s History MA program. Her proposed research fellowship would allow her to explore the region’s past through an academic lens, contributing to broader historical scholarship. Reaching the semifinalist stage in this highly competitive program is a testament to both her dedication and the strength of her research focus.
Applying for prestigious awards like the Fulbright requires more than just strong ideas—it takes strategy, refinement, and support. That’s where Rutgers Graduate School–Camden’s Office of Scholar Development and Fellowship Advising comes in. Designed to help students craft competitive applications, the program offers resources like sample materials, personalized advising, and detailed feedback.
