Three students at The University of Oklahoma have been awarded nationally competitive scholarships, including two Fulbright recipients and one Gilman awardee.

University of Oklahoma students Annelise Huynh (Tulsa) and Alex Shafer (Cary, North Carolina) have received Fulbright U.S. Student awards for the 2026-27 academic year from the U.S. Department of State and the Fulbright Foreign Scholarship Board.

Fulbright students spend a year abroad teaching English, pursuing graduate study or conducting research. These students are among approximately 2,200 selected for this prestigious honor each year across the U.S.

Lauren Morris, of Bristow, is receiving a Gilman scholarship to study at the OU Study Center in Arezzo, Italy this summer.

The Benjamin A. Gilman International Scholarship Program, a program of the U.S. Department of State’s Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs (ECA), provides scholarships to U.S. undergraduate students to study or intern abroad.

Getting food, medicine and everyday supplies to rural communities is not always simple, especially across long stretches of highway and underserved areas.

Researchers at The University of Oklahoma are working to change that.

Through a major federally funded project, OU researchers are studying how autonomous freight technology could make transportation safer, faster and more reliable for rural and tribal communities across Oklahoma, New Mexico and Arizona.

Led by D**g Zhang, Ph.D., and Musharraf Zaman, Ph.D., the ACCEL-RT project will explore how emerging vehicle technologies can help improve supply delivery, reduce transportation disruptions and strengthen critical infrastructure along the I-40 corridor.

The project also focuses on listening directly to rural and tribal communities to ensure these solutions are practical, trusted and designed around real needs.

With support from the U.S. Department of Transportation, OU is helping shape the future of transportation in ways that could impact communities across the country.

Water is one of our most critical resources, but maintaining it is becoming one of our biggest challenges.

Yanhua Xie, an assistant professor in the OU College of Atmospheric & Geographic Sciences, is helping lead an international research effort to better understand how water systems have changed over the past 60 years.

Through advanced modeling of agricultural irrigation and global water patterns, this work aims to improve how we manage and sustain water resources for future generations.
