Pomona College seniors Irene Toro Martinez and Anoush Suni were given the distinguished Thomas J. Watson Foundation Fellowship, according to a Pomona College news release issued Wednesday.

The students, two of 40 chosen from 177 finalists, will each receive a $28,000 grant from the award for a single year of independent travel and exploration outside the U.S., according the release. 

Washington D.C. resident Martinez will travel to Spain, Norway, Chile and Mexico for "All the Time in the World." Ann Arbor. Michigan resident Suni will go to Turkey, Morocco and Armenia for "The Language of the Oud: Cross-Cultural Connections Through Music."

"Each of the four countries that I chose is home to a different natural phenomenon that has shaped people's lifestyles, and therefore how they perceive time," Martinez said in the news release.

Said Suni: "The music of the oud...is expressive of each unique society."
