Five Loyola University Maryland students were awarded scholarships from the U.S. Department of State’s Benjamin A. Gilman International Scholarship Program. This highly competitive scholarship helps American students offset the costs of studying or interning abroad.
“Our Gilman Scholars are terrific people, and it’s an honor that the Gilman Program recognized their leadership potential,” said Terre Ryan, Loyola’s director of national fellowships. “Loyola works to ‘inspire students to learn, lead, and serve in a diverse and changing world.’ By studying abroad and learning about other countries and cultures, our Gilman Scholars will grow in ways they never imagined, and they’ll take that learning forward into their futures.”
The mission of the Gilman Program is to develop a generation of future leaders who represent the rich diversity of the U.S. and have the international networks and skills to advance national security and economic prosperity.
