Eva Knowles graduated with her bachelors at Loyola in Sociology in Spring of 2023. She studied abroad in Vigo, Spain in 2021-2022 and was later selected for three nationally-competitive awards:

In 2023, she was awarded a Critical Language Scholarship for her study of Portuguese language in Brazil. CLS is a highly selective language learning opportunity sponsored by the Department of State for American college and university students to learn languages essential to the United States' engagement with the world (clscholarship.org).
In 2023-2024, she received a Fulbright English Teaching Assistantship. She served as a cultural ambassador and international educator by planning and facilitating English grammar, intercultural, and conversational lessons for twenty hours per week to about 500 students at a public secondary school in rural Galicia, Spain. The Fulbright U.S. Student Program offers fellowships for U.S. graduating college seniors, graduate students, young professionals and artists to study, conduct research, and/or teach English abroad.

In 2024, she was awarded a DAAD Study Scholarship for Master’s Studies for All Academic Disciplines in Germany. DAAD scholarships are aimed primarily at graduates, doctoral students and postdocs and are awarded for study and research visits to universities and non-university research institutions in Germany.
