BURLINGTON, VT (01/09/2012)(readMedia)-- Storm Leland of Burlington, VT, was one of five University of Vermont students recently awarded the prestigious Benjamin A. Gilman Scholarship, which is a nationally competitive award given to accomplished students with financial need who wish to study abroad.
Leland, a social work major in the College of Education & Social Services, was awarded a Gilman to study abroad in Belize during the spring 2012 semester.
UVM students received a total of $20,500 in study abroad scholarship money from the Gilman awards which are given out each semester. The Gilman Scholarship Program, which aims to diversify the kinds of students who study abroad and the countries and regions where they go to study, provides awards that allow American undergraduate students who receive federal Pell Grant funding at a two-year or four-year college or university to participate in study abroad programs worldwide.
The Gilman program is sponsored by the U.S. Department of State, Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs and administered by the Institute of International Education.
