Four students win Benjamin A. Gilman International Scholarships

Four University of Washington Bothell students received the Benjamin A. Gilman International Scholarship to support their study abroad. Awards ranging from $3,000 to $5,000 went to each student. Two of the students are IAS majors: Mari McMenamin (Media & Communication Studies) will study in Spain and France, and Julie Pham (Mathematical Thinking & Visualization) will study in South Africa. The other two student awardees are: Christina Lai for study in Rwanda, and Kevin Paulino Garcia for study in Japan. All four are UW Bothell Global Scholars who took advantage of targeted workshops and one-to-one support to develop their applications in the spring. Although 2020 programs have been canceled, students will be able to use their funds through 2021.
