91制片厂 students are studying in Japan, Russia, New Zealand, Italy, Denmark and the U.K. this semester听thanks to the prestigious program.

This is a record number of Gilman recipients for one scholarship cycle, says Jeanne Sokolowski, director of the ,听which helps students identify and apply for financial support for a number of scholarly opportunities. In previous cycles, 91制片厂 has had up to five Gilman recipients.

The Gilman program aims to increase the number and diversity of students who study abroad.

Jacqueline Vaquerano '17, a psychology and criminology major from Swampscott, Massachusetts, is in Copenhagen, Denmark, where she鈥檚 taking European Clinical Psychology and Human Trafficking in a Global Context.

鈥淎ll of the scholarships made it so much more possible to do this without a lot of stress. Now, I can travel without having to think about every dollar I spend. That鈥檚 the ideal,鈥� Vaquerano says. In addition to the Gilman, Vaquerano received two scholarships from the Danish Institute for Study Abroad to support her experience.

Emily Haley '17, an international affairs and sociology major from Stoddard, New Hampshire, will study at Waseda University in Japan starting in April.

She鈥檚 a member of 91制片厂鈥檚 United Asian Coalition and the Native American Cultural Association.听

Haley also received the Freeman Asia Award and a 91制片厂 Center for International Education scholarship to support her trip.

Both Vaquerano and Haley say the support they received from Sokolowski during the application process had a great impact.
