Congratulations to Jennifer Brown, a Shoreline student currently studying abroad in Japan thanks to a $2000 Gilman scholarship award.
Studying abroad helps students broaden their worldview and allows them to experience different cultures, discover a different style of education, hone language skills, discover new career tracks, find new areas of interest, and gain life experience and opportunities for personal growth. Many students don’t take advantage of study abroad opportunities because they aren’t aware of the many scholarships available to help defray the costs.
Check out the Gilman scholarship, as well as the numerous other scholarships available to students to study abroad.
And check out the many fabulous 2020 Study Abroad opportunities posted on Shoreline’s Study Abroad page.
