Four Grand Valley students were named Gilman Scholars for the
winter 2011 semester, setting a record for the largest number of
scholars in one award cycle for the university.
The Benjamin A. Gilman International Scholarship Program is
operated by the U.S. Department of State, Bureau of Educational and
Cultural Affairs, and the Institute for International Education.
Students selected for the program use the scholarship to study abroad.
The students and the country where they will study follows:
• Onawa Gardiner, advertising and public relations major, will study
in Chile;
• Ferris Jumah, majoring in statistics, accounting and
finance, will study in Turkey;
• Marcy McCourt, health
professions major, will study in India; and
• John Rood, majoring
in political science and philosophy, will also study in India.
Amanda Cuevas, director of the Office of Fellowships, said the
Gilman Scholarship Program received about 2,900 applications and
presented 850 awards.
The deadline for students who want to apply for fall 2011 Gilman
Scholarships is February 14. Contact Cuevas at [email protected] or
