“Traveling to Germany in the summer of 2022 with the help of the Gilman Scholarship was a great personal and professional growth opportunity. I not only made connections with engineers and engineering students in different countries, but I made great friends with students from my home university and other American universities as well. It truly is a great talking point that separates me from other candidates and an experience I will never forget.” Bryce Erdman, Summer 2022

The scholarship legitimized a study abroad experience in Berlin I would have otherwise never been able to experience. While studying abroad I was able to engage with both academics and culture in ways which greatly enhanced both my experience and exploration of life as a student and a human.” Bella Bergen, Spring 2023
