UNIVERSITY OF RICHMOND — Four University of Richmond students have been offered Gilman Scholarships to support their study abroad experiences.
“Gilman Scholarships support international educational experiences for outstanding students who might not otherwise travel due to financial barriers,” said Ethan Knight, associate director of the Office of Scholars and Fellowships. “Through this program, students gain invaluable global perspectives, as well as skills that benefit their academic studies and future careers.”
The Gilman Scholarship Program, an initiative of the U.S. Department of State’s Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs, awarded approximately 1,600 American undergraduate students from all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico. This cohort of Gilman Scholars will study or intern in over 90 countries and represents more than 500 U.S. colleges and universities.
UR’s latest Gilman Scholars are:
Since the program started in 2001, 105 University of Richmond students have been offered Gilman Scholarships.

Glen Kettering, a University of Richmond junior from Virginia Beach, Virginia, has been named a Gilman-McCain Scholar. Kettering is the first UR student to receive this award, which he is using to study abroad in Prague, Czech Republic.
A subset of the State Department’s Gilman Scholarship Program, this award provides scholarships to outstanding U.S. undergraduate students who might not otherwise go abroad due to financial constraints. Applicants must also be the dependent of an active service member.
Kettering is majoring in global studies with a concentration in politics and governance and minoring in environmental studies.
