UA Students Win Gilman International Awards

Ten University of Alabama students were awarded scholarships through the Benjamin A. Gilman International Scholarship Program during the 2019-2020 academic year.

"The Benjamin A. Gilman International Scholarship allows students to study abroad who might not otherwise participate due to financial constraints," said Carolina Robinson, director of Education Abroad at UA's Capstone International Center. "We are thrilled that we had 10 UA students selected as recipients for this award."

Recipients were selected by the Institute of International Education through the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs in the U.S. Department of State.

"Our Education Abroad office invests heavily in increasing awareness and supporting students in refining their stories and scholarship applications," said Robinson. "Our efforts are paid off with each student who wins a scholarship, which allows them the incredible opportunity to experience a new country and culture."
