The Benjamin A. Gilman International Scholarship has been awarded to 42 University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign undergraduate students this spring. Across the 2024-2025 academic year, the Gilman Program received a record-breaking number of 17,000 scholarship applications.
“With 42 recipients, the U. of I. ranks among the top ten producers of Gilman Scholars across the country this term, supporting students from eight different U. of I. colleges cumulatively with $115,000 toward their studies abroad,” said David Schug, the director of the National and International Scholarships Program at Illinois. “An impressive 40% of our applicants received an award, twice the national average. The award gives these students not only a chance to study abroad but also represents the university across four different continents in the coming year.”
Chemical and biomolecular engineering student Anggana Yudono was one of the Gilman scholarship recipients. Yudono will have the opportunity to study in Denmark.
