Tina Wadhwa, a Columbia University graduate, is one of the four youngsters to have been awarded this scholarship announced by the U.S. State Department, according to a U.S. Embassy news release here. Recipients were chosen through a multi-tiered, merit-based selection process, beginning with field and discipline reviews by the U.S., foreign academic leaders and area experts; mtvU and icons like “Death Cab for Cutie,” Gerard Way of “My Chemical Romance,” Santigold and Vampire Weekend reviewed and nominated the top qualifying candidates. The final selection was made by the J. William Fulbright Foreign Scholarship Board, appointed by the President.
