"As a first-generation college student and a Veteran dependent, the Gilman Scholarship and the Promising Futures Program lifted the financial burden of studying abroad off my family. With the aid and financial independence, I feel empowered and free to travel and explore Europe and Asia as I complete my undergraduate studies."

Maia Coffey '21
Semester abroad, Prague (spring 2020)
"As a Black woman, in the back of my mind I had a small thought that my race would negatively impact my time abroad, but this thought was largely overshadowed by all of the positive possibilities that could have and did come from my study abroad experience in Prague. Going abroad, especially as a student of color, is an amazing opportunity to see yourself and identity in a new light, as well as being a positive representation of your ethnicity in a country or city that hasn’t had much interaction with your race."
