In applying for the scholarship, the students worked closely with the Flatley Center for Undergraduate Scholarly Engagement (CUSE), which promotes the intellectual development of Notre Dame undergraduates through scholarly engagement, research, creative endeavors and the pursuit of fellowships. “Congratulations to this year’s Gilman Scholarship recipients, and thank you to CUSE team member Elise Rudt for guiding them through the application process,” Jeffrey Thibert, the Paul and Maureen Stefanick Director of CUSE, said. “The recent uptick in Notre Dame Gilman recipients is due both to Elise’s outreach and advising efforts and to the thoughtfulness with which our students approach the robust study abroad experiences that have been curated by Notre Dame International.” Sponsored by the U.S. Department of State’s Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs, the Gilman Scholarship helps American undergraduate students of limited financial means study or intern abroad with up to $5,000 in financial assistance for program costs plus additional funding for the study of a critical language overseas.
