Gilman International Scholarship Program<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Asia Bennett, a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kzoo.edu\/k-plan\/study-abroad\/\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.kzoo.edu\/k-plan\/study-abroad\/\">study abroad<\/a> and international student adviser in the CIP, was among the first higher-education professionals in the country named a Gilman Ambassador through a new program in the 2021-22 academic year. Gilman\u2019s goal with naming ambassadors was to empower a cohort of professionals including Bennett to share best practices in the application process with students for the purpose of increasing participation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That goal proved to be successful nationally as 200 panelists reviewed nearly 50 applications each, and K students submitted more applications than ever before. In fact, the effort is helping the CIP push the number of Pell-grant eligible K students earning Gilman awards, worth up to $5,000 each, upward from four in the past year to 18 in the coming year. That\u2019s at least nine more than at any other Great Lakes Colleges Association (GLCA) school, according to yet-to-be finalized numbers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI think we at K typically have about six Gilman applicants per cycle and maybe two to four recipients, so 18 is definitely a record for us,\u201d Bennett said. \u201cFor just a year, I think we\u2019ve been very successful and I\u2019m excited for what next year will bring.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.kzoo.edu\/news\/files\/2022\/06\/Eliana-Orozco.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-17010\" width=\"227\" height=\"302\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kzoo.edu\/news\/files\/2022\/06\/Eliana-Orozco.jpg 549w, https:\/\/www.kzoo.edu\/news\/files\/2022\/06\/Eliana-Orozco-300x399.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.kzoo.edu\/news\/files\/2022\/06\/Eliana-Orozco-113x150.jpg 113w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 227px) 100vw, 227px\" \/><figcaption>Eliana Orozco &#8217;24 is among the<br>Kalamazoo College students receiving<br>study abroad scholarships this fall.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.kzoo.edu\/news\/files\/2022\/06\/Gabriel-Coleman-Study-Abroad-Scholarships.jpeg\" alt=\"Garbriel Coleman Study Abroad Scholarships\" class=\"wp-image-17002\" width=\"223\" height=\"303\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kzoo.edu\/news\/files\/2022\/06\/Gabriel-Coleman-Study-Abroad-Scholarships.jpeg 475w, https:\/\/www.kzoo.edu\/news\/files\/2022\/06\/Gabriel-Coleman-Study-Abroad-Scholarships-300x408.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.kzoo.edu\/news\/files\/2022\/06\/Gabriel-Coleman-Study-Abroad-Scholarships-110x150.jpeg 110w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 223px) 100vw, 223px\" \/><figcaption>Study abroad scholarships are helping<br>underrepresented students such as<br>Gabriel Coleman &#8217;24 go overseas.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>About 33,000 students have received funds through Gilman, funded by the U.S. Department of State\u2019s Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs, to study abroad or intern overseas since 2001. By awarding funds competitively to students with limited financial means, the Gilman assures that students from traditionally underrepresented groups, such as Gabriel Coleman \u201924, will take advantage of opportunities such as K\u2019s long-term liberal arts program in Quito, Ecuador. Students in the Ecuador program enroll in fall courses at the Universidad San Francisco de Quito, the first private university in that country. The program includes a homestay with a local host family, which allows students to immerse themselves in Spanish-language and Ecuadorean culture, and travel to the Galapagos Islands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe opportunity to try something new encouraged me to apply for the Gilman scholarship,\u201d said Coleman, a Spanish major and art minor with a concentration in environmental studies. \u201cI felt that doing this, plus telling others about the follow-up service project, would help me tell others about my overall experience and encourage them to study abroad.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The students\u2019 application process involves three essays including a personal statement about educational and career goals, a scholarship essay about what they would hope to do as an American citizen abroad, and what they plan to do as a result of their study abroad opportunity when they return. That was undaunting for Eliana Orozco \u201924, an anthropology-sociology and French double major and classical civilization minor, who will pursue foreign study in Lyon, France.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI like to think of it as being similar to the experience of applying to colleges, when we had to write about ourselves,\u201d Orozco said. \u201cI think writing about ourselves is actually a lot easier than we assume it to be. It really didn&#8217;t take much time, and once I just sat down and focused on what I wanted to say, it developed pretty easily.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Should students need other opportunities, Bennett notes that the Gilman scholarship program isn\u2019t the only one available to students looking for study abroad funding. As a result, Bennett wants students\u2014even first-year students\u2014to talk with the CIP early and often.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cSometimes these opportunities are based on financial need or identity traits,\u201d Bennett said. \u201cSometimes they\u2019re based on the place where the student is going. We always recommend that students come into the CIP or send us an email, even during the summer, so we can talk about what works best for them.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The number of K students with limited financial means taking advantage of a program that provides study abroad scholarships is surging this fall.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":147,"featured_media":16997,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[47],"post_formats":[],"class_list":["post-16994","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","tag-study-abroad"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\r\n<title>Study Abroad Scholarships, Staff Spark Opportunities - News and Events<\/title>\r\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"The number of K students with limited financial means taking advantage of a program that provides study abroad scholarships is surging this fall.\" \/>\r\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\r\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.kzoo.edu\/news\/study-abroad-scholarships\/\" \/>\r\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\r\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\r\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Study Abroad Scholarships, Staff Spark Opportunities - News and Events\" \/>\r\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"The number of K students with limited financial means taking advantage of a program that provides study abroad scholarships is surging this fall.\" \/>\r\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.kzoo.edu\/news\/study-abroad-scholarships\/\" \/>\r\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"News and Events\" \/>\r\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/KalamazooCollege\" \/>\r\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2022-06-14T13:19:51+00:00\" \/>\r\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2022-06-14T13:22:37+00:00\" \/>\r\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/www.kzoo.edu\/news\/files\/2022\/06\/Asia-Bennett-Affordable-Study-Abroad.jpg\" \/>\r\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"600\" \/>\r\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"600\" \/>\r\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\r\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Andy Brown\" \/>\r\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\r\n<meta name=\"twitter:creator\" content=\"@kcollege\" \/>\r\n<meta name=\"twitter:site\" content=\"@kcollege\" \/>\r\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Andy Brown\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"3 minutes\" \/>\r\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.kzoo.edu\/news\/study-abroad-scholarships\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/www.kzoo.edu\/news\/study-abroad-scholarships\/\",\"name\":\"Study Abroad Scholarships, Staff Spark Opportunities - News and Events\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.kzoo.edu\/news\/#website\"},\"primaryImageOfPage\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.kzoo.edu\/news\/study-abroad-scholarships\/#primaryimage\"},\"image\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.kzoo.edu\/news\/study-abroad-scholarships\/#primaryimage\"},\"thumbnailUrl\":\"https:\/\/www.kzoo.edu\/news\/files\/2022\/06\/Asia-Bennett-Affordable-Study-Abroad.jpg\",\"datePublished\":\"2022-06-14T13:19:51+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2022-06-14T13:22:37+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.kzoo.edu\/news\/#\/schema\/person\/8b54e37c984840c05e9ec797b6616166\"},\"description\":\"The number of K students with limited financial means taking advantage of a program that provides study abroad scholarships is surging this fall.\",\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.kzoo.edu\/news\/study-abroad-scholarships\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/www.kzoo.edu\/news\/study-abroad-scholarships\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"ImageObject\",\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.kzoo.edu\/news\/study-abroad-scholarships\/#primaryimage\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/www.kzoo.edu\/news\/files\/2022\/06\/Asia-Bennett-Affordable-Study-Abroad.jpg\",\"contentUrl\":\"https:\/\/www.kzoo.edu\/news\/files\/2022\/06\/Asia-Bennett-Affordable-Study-Abroad.jpg\",\"width\":600,\"height\":600,\"caption\":\"Asia Bennett, a study abroad and international student adviser in the Center for International Programs, helps students find affordable study abroad opportunities through scholarships such as the Benjamin A.
