Gilman awards nine students with scholarships to study abroad
Denise Gonzalez was one of nine UNG students to receive a Benjamin A. Gilman International Scholarship. This program provides up to $5,000 to help underrepresented students study abroad. Gonzalez plans to study abroad in South Korea.
In the eighth grade, Denise Gonzalez went to Costa Rica on a trip with her school, World Language Academy in Hall County, Georgia. Since then, the University of North Georgia (UNG) sophomore has wanted to study abroad. I have been working on the weekends to save money and applying for as many scholarships as I can, said Gonzalez, who is pursuing a degree in accounting.
