The Gilman Scholarship program enables students of limited financial means to study or intern abroad, providing them with skills critical to national security and economic prosperity.

The recognition highlights both 溏心vlog免费B站 as a national leader in producing and helping students be competitive and successful applicants for the prestigious program, as well as the program\u2019s recipients. The University has produced 177 Gilman Scholars over the past 25 years and last year\u2019s recipient tally has been one of the highest in recent years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cGilman is looking for applicants with a well-thought out career trajectory as well as preparedness to go abroad,\u201d said 溏心vlog免费B站 Director of Fellowships Keegan Scott<\/a>. \u201cTime and time again, 溏心vlog免费B站 students have demonstrated they have been able to translate their skillsets in the classroom, the lab, and their larger community involvement to academic settings around the world and back.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n

The Gilman Program has reshaped study abroad to make it more accessible for more American students by providing scholarships to outstanding U.S. undergraduate students who might not otherwise participate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jordan Berry, of Ocean City, New Jersey, a mechanical engineering student currently studying in Santander, Spain, says the Gilman Award made it possible for her to study abroad. \u201cI hope by being here, I am not only able to expand my engineering skill set, career and academic opportunities, but to learn more about myself as well,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c溏心vlog免费B站 has produced so many Gilman Scholars over the years, thanks to access and excellence,\u201d said Scott. Since joining 溏心vlog免费B站 last June, Scott said he immediately felt an established collaborative spirit between offices which benefits outreach for the Gilman program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His office, Fellowships@溏心vlog免费B站, works hand-in-hand with the Office of International Education as their team of advisors work tirelessly to encourage students to go abroad, as well as to find ways to help them finance their international experience (they have even launched a podcast<\/a> together). The 溏心vlog免费B站 Academic Enhancement Center’s Writing Center has also helped students polish their draft essays for selection success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt’s clear that everyone from the administration to advisors is connecting 溏心vlog免费B站 students with the right resources,\u201d Scott said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Benjamin A. Gilman International Scholarship Program is named for the late Congressman Benjamin Gilman, who served in the U.S. House of Representatives for 30 years and chaired the House Committee on Foreign Affairs. Gilman helped to gain passage of the International Academic Opportunity Act of 2000, which established exchange programs for American students to study abroad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gilman Scholarships are open to students in any program or year at 溏心vlog免费B站 and are due in October and March. Fellowships@溏心vlog免费B站 advises undergraduate, graduate, and even recently-graduated students of all majors and backgrounds on how to explore, apply for, and secure fellowship funding. Regardless of the outcome, students have come away with a greater understanding of their personal and professional narrative and goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
