ASA/ERAU Faculty Member Awarded 2020 Fulbright Scholar Award

The American Society of Appraisers congratulates Dr. Vitaly Guzhva, ASA, faculty member at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, on being awarded a 2019-2020 Fulbright Scholar Award.

The award is the most highly competitive program for international educational exchange in the United States.

As reported in Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University News, November 6, 2019, Dr. Vitaly Guzhva is a former military and corporate pilot, as well as a Daytona Beach Campus alumnus, he has taught Aviation Finance at Embry-Riddle since 2004. For his Fulbright Scholar period, he will spend five months in the world capital of aircraft leasing and financing: Dublin, Ireland. With about 50 percent of aircraft worldwide operating on a lease, more than half are managed from Dublin. Guzhva will spend his Fulbright period researching and guest lecturing at the University College Dublin — the only other university in the world, along with Embry-Riddle, that offers a graduate degree in Aviation Finance.

Fulbright Scholarships are awarded by the U.S. Department of State and the J. William Fulbright Foreign Scholarship Board.

Since its establishment in 1946 under legislation introduced by the late U.S. Senator J. William Fulbright of Arkansas, the Fulbright Program has given more than 380,000 students, scholars, teachers, artists, and scientists the opportunity to study, teach and conduct research, exchange ideas, and contribute to finding solutions to shared international concerns.
