12 U of A Students selected as Summer Gilman Scholarship Awardees & Alternates #hogsabroad

Ten University of Arkansas undergraduates have been selected to receive the prestigious Benjamin A. Gilman International Scholarship, sponsored by the U.S. Department of State, for their study abroad program during the summer 2014 term.  An additional two undergraduates have been selected as alternates for this scholarship.  

This award allows undergraduate students with high financial need the opportunity to study or participate in an internship abroad, develop valuable career and language skills, and prepare themselves for the global economy while serving as citizen ambassadors in their host country.

Gilman Scholars receive up to $5,000 to apply towards their study abroad program costs, and a limited number of students will also receive additional funding for language study through the Critical Need Language Awards, for a total award of $8,000.  For more on the Gilman Scholarship, visit www.iie.org/gilman.
