Ohio State was made aware March 3 that a group of its international students had their scholarship funding temporarily paused due to an ongoing U.S. Department of State review. Fourteen international students studying through the Fulbright Foreign Student Program had their monthly stipend payments — which are used to cover food, housing and living expenses — temporarily frozen, Joanna Kulkiekla-Blaser, university director of the Fulbright Scholar and Fulbright-Hays Programs, said in an email. Though university spokesperson Chris Booker said in an email all 14 students had their April stipends fully reimbursed, the U.S. Department of State temporarily paused all spending to review its programs and activities Feb. 13, according to an association of international educators called NAFSA.
