The St. Norbert College Center for Global Engagement (CGE) has announced that St. Norbert student Carlos Zaragoza has been selected to receive a $3,000 Gilman scholarship award.

The U.S. Department of State’s Benjamin A. Gilman International Scholarship Program awards students up to $5,000, or up to $8,000 if they also are recipients of the Gilman Critical Need Language Award, to apply toward their study abroad or internship program costs.

About 1,700 U.S. undergraduate students have been selected nationally to receive Gilman scholarship awards from the most recent application cycle. Students selected to receive this award went through a rigorous, competitive application process with the support of their study abroad advisor. Nationally, one in three students who apply receive an award.

Zaragoza, of Green Bay, is studying abroad during J-term 2024 through the college’s Strategic Management Global Seminar in Aguascalientes, Mexico, with St. Norbert College faculty Joy Pahl and Alexia Lopes.

The Benjamin A. Gilman International Scholarship Program enables students of limited financial means to study or intern abroad, providing them with skills critical to our national security and economic prosperity. To be eligible for the Gilman Program, applicants must be receiving a Federal Pell Grant during the time of application or provide proof that they will be receiving a Pell Grant during the term of their study abroad program or internship. The Institute of International Education has administered the program since its inception in 2001.
