Six GS students—out of an overall group of eight students from Columbia University—were recently selected to receive summer 2015 scholarships from the Gilman International Scholarship Program, which "aims to encourage students interested in non-traditional study abroad destinations by providing financial support." These students were chosen from a pool of more than 6,300 applicants nationwide, and approximately 1,870 outstanding students were offered awards ranging from $2,500-$8,000 to study or intern abroad.
"I am extremely pleased that such a high percentage of GS students were represented among the recipients of this competitive award. The additional funding provided by the Gilman International Scholarship Program will allow these deserving students to attend various summer study abroad programs," Senior Assistant Dean of Students and Director of Study Abroad Vanessa Karahalios said.
