The following Arcadia University students are among approximately 1,600 undergraduates across the U.S. selected to receive the prestigious Benjamin A. Gilman International Scholarship in the 2015-16 academic year. Sponsored by the U.S. Department of State’s Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs, the scholarship provides funding to study abroad. Gilman scholarships broaden the student population that participates in education abroad by supporting undergraduates who have been traditionally underrepresented and those who might not study or intern abroad due to financial constraints.
Gilman scholars receive up to $8,000 for a study abroad or internship program costs.
“Study abroad is a special experience for every student who participates,” said Benjamin Gilman, who retired in 2002 after serving in the House of Representatives for 30 years and chairing the House Foreign Relations Committee. “Living and learning in a vastly different environment of another nation not only exposes our students to alternate views, but also adds an enriching social and cultural experience.”
The competition for summer or fall of 2016 closes March 1, 2016. Contact the Office of International Affairs for more details about the Gilman application and study abroad opportunities.
