Davenport, IA – Amy C. Novak, EdD, president of St. Ambrose University, announced today that alumnus Daniel Salazar ’23 has been chosen as a Fulbright finalist, or award winner, for the English teaching assistantship in Spain. The Fulbright Program is a prestigious international grant that gives students, scholars, and professionals the opportunity to teach and study in more than 140 countries. Fewer than 20% of applicants to the Fulbright program achieve finalist status. Salazar graduated from St. Ambrose University in December 2023 with a Bachelor of Arts in Secondary History Education. The Muscatine, Iowa, native was hesitant to pursue the grant. Teaching abroad was not his intended path. But he was inspired by the sacrifices of his grandfather to seize every opportunity available to him. “As scary as it is to think of leaving all I have ever known, I can see no other way around what I consider my duty and responsibility. A duty to use the opportunities allotted to me thanks to a grandfather who had none,” Salazar says. “Manual labor left my grandfather with little feeling in his fingertips and required several surgeries. I thought about the loneliness he must have felt leaving all he had ever known to find a place abundant with opportunity not for himself but for his descendants.” As Salazar pushed himself to pursue this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, St. Ambrose faculty were there to support him through the Fulbright application process. “The most real moment for me was meeting with St. Ambrose faculty and staff, people I had gotten to know very well along the way, and being interviewed honestly by them. Here I stood before faces I trusted, faces I knew would judge me accurately and could determine the direction of my life entirely.”
