Bryanna Schade of North Platte earns Gilman scholarship to study abroad

2016 Dec 7

Bryanna Schade of North Platte is among five University of Nebraska-Lincoln students who earned Benjamin A. Gilman International Scholarships, which will allow them to study abroad during the spring 2017 semester.

Schade, a global studies major, will study in Buenos Aires, Argentina. She is the daughter of Sandy Schade.

The Gilman scholarship is a nationally competitive award given three times a year by the U.S. Department of State's Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs to undergraduate students seeking to study or intern abroad. This round of scholarships was awarded to 850 students from 359 universities and colleges.

Gilman scholars receive up to $5,000 to apply toward their study abroad or internship program costs. The program's goal is to allow students to gain a better understanding of other cultures, countries, languages and economies - making them better prepared to assume leadership roles within government and the private sector.
