International affairs, political science major studying in Ottawa as Killam Fellow
Paden Stanton, a University of Maine student studying international affairs and political science, is the recipient of a Killam Fellowship for the 2016 fall semester.
As a Killam Fellow, Stanton is studying at Carleton University in Ottawa, while UMaine hosts a Canadian student. Abbey Friars, who is pursuing a degree in kinesiology at Acadia University in Nova Scotia, was awarded the Killam Fellowship to study at UMaine.
The Killam Fellowships Program, sponsored by Fulbright Canada, allows undergraduate students from Canada and the U.S. to participate in a program of residential exchange to foster mutual understanding between the countries. Fulbright Canada is a joint, binational, treaty-based organization supported by the Canadian and U.S. governments.
More information about the program is online. UMaine students interested in applying for next year’s Killam Fellowship should contact Amy Kumpf at amy.kumpf@maine.edu or 581.1509. The deadline to apply is Jan. 15.
