Hey, I hope everyone is doing well.
Well it has been a few weeks since I last blogged. Mainly, because I was prepping for the graduate records exam. I took the GRE yesterday. I’m so happy that’s over I can really begin to focus on preparing for my study abroad, which is about nine days away -it still feels surreal.
This week I want to give a special thanks to U.S. Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs’ Benjamin A. Gilman Foundation for helping me reach my dream of going abroad. This scholarship program is funded through the International Academic Opportunity Act of 2000. According to their website http://www.iie.org “The Gilman Scholarship Program aims to support students who have been traditionally under-represented in study abroad, including but not limited to, students with high financial need, community college students, students in under-represented fields such as the sciences and engineering, students with diverse ethnic backgrounds, and students with disabilities.” The scholarship program is for two and four-year college students.
Check out their website for more information on how to apply. They give out numerous scholarships each semester. So you might be wondering who is Benjamin A. Gilman was a Congress Representative from New York, who was a strong supporter of international education and experiences.
Overall the Gilman Scholarship Program is truly helping eliminate the financial barrier, which prevent minorities and low-income students from receiving international education.
Peace, Love, & Harmony
