Hillary Clintons name vanishes from State Department fellowship
~snip~
The State Department has dropped Hillary Clinton’s name from a fellowship that sends Americans abroad to work in foreign government ministries.
The Fulbright-Clinton Public Policy Fellowship, around since 2012, is now known simply as the Fulbright Public Policy Fellowship.
A State Department spokesman said the decision to remove Clinton’s name was made last spring as part of an effort to strengthen the Fulbright “brand” affecting a handful of fellowships that award a small number of grants. The Fulbright-Clinton Fellowship usually provided about $34,000 a year to as many as 24 students apiece annually.
Those who were chosen in the fall of 2016 are in the field now. No applications were accepted last year, so the fellowship will go on hiatus for a year. The State Department’s Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs (ECA) plans to reintroduce it later this year in a modified form as a fellowship for scholars, who tend to be older and have more experience.

... which will save us the trouble of removing his name later.
