Scholarship Opportunity
Gemma Gonzalez from Psychology won the HI USA scholarship last year. A flier is attached below for HI USA scholarship as they have specifically invited me to recruit more students in this program to apply because rigorous coursework coupled with intensive internship training matches their interests and our students match their mission to open the world to Pell eligible students. Students can also use their financial aid and apply for Honors College Study Abroad Scholarships and the Gilman.
