Eline Xia, a junior student majoring in Sustainability and Political Science at Stockton University, received the Benjamin Gilman International Scholarship! She will use this scholarship for her semester-long study abroad program in Greece in Spring 2023.  

Eline shared with us that “Being a first generation student of color, I know this experience is not possible for many like me, but with this scholarship, I am able to travel and have experiences I could not afford to do otherwise.“ 

The U.S. Department of State’s Benjamin A. Gilman International Scholarship is a grant program that enables students of limited financial means to study or intern abroad, thereby gaining skills critical to our national security and economic competitiveness. The Gilman Scholarship Program is open to U.S. citizen undergraduate students who are receiving Federal Pell Grant funding at a two-year or four-year college or university to participate in study and intern abroad programs worldwide.
