King's LLB graduate awarded Fulbright scholarship

Miss Mariya Dimitrova, a LLB graduate at The Dickson Poon School of Law, has been awarded a Fulbright scholarship to study in the US in September 2013.

After successfully completing the comprehensive application process, which involved submitting an application form and a number of references, a piece of written work and test results, Miss Dimitrova also attended an interview with the Fulbright Commission in her home country of Bulgaria.

Elated to have received the award, Miss Dimitrova said: ‘I feel very honoured to have been awarded the Fulbright Scholarship, which is undoubtedly a great opportunity for further academic and professional development. I would like to thank all my tutors who so kindly provided their assistance, and in particular my personal tutor Professor Penney Lewis, whose support and reassurance were key to being awarded this prestigious scholarship.’

Offering her congratulations to Miss Dimitrova, Professor Penney Lewis commented: ‘This is wonderful news for Mariya and for The Dickson Poon School of Law. Mariya is a dynamic, hard-working and ambitious young woman who will undoubtedly make the most of this fantastic opportunity.’

The Fulbright Commission is yet to submit Miss Dimitrova’s application to her list of preferred universities, but she hopes to study International Business Law in either New York or Washington. In the meantime, Mariya is taking a well-deserved summer break, during which she hopes to spend some time travelling around Europe.
