LHU director to serve on international scholarship panel; Scholarship program funds undergraduate study abroad

LOCK HAVEN, Pa. -
Rosana Campbell, assistant director of Lock haven University’s Institute for International Studies, was recently invited to serve as a national selection panelist for the Gilman International Scholarship Program.
The Benjamin A. Gilman Scholarship offers scholarships to help fund study abroad opportunities for undergraduate students in the U.S. Administered by the Institute of International Education (IIE), the program is funded through the International Academic Opportunity Act of 2000 and is sponsored by the U.S. Department of State, Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs.
The program’s goal is to diversify the kinds of students who study abroad and the countries and regions where they study. "Since 2003, a number of LHU students have been awarded Gilman Scholarships," said Campbell. "It is an honor to serve on the selection panel for this prestigious program, which provides funding for students who otherwise may not be able to study abroad."
For further information on Gilman scholarship opportunities, contact Ms. Campbell at rcampbel@lhup.edu or at ext. 2140.
