I would like to thank the Benjamin A. Gilman International Scholarship foundation for providing me the required funds to be able to go on such an educational and fulfilling journey studying abroad in Osaka, Japan. Without them, I wouldn’t have ever been able to have such a memorable experience over summer. For any students wanting to study abroad, whether you be a linguistics major, psychology major, or even STEM major, I urge you to go pursue that dream. I never would have imagined travelling to another country to study, especially as a computer engineer, and even more so being a dirt-poor computer engineer.
I found out, however, that there are many resources everywhere where you can get help from in getting funding for your study abroad experience, the Benjamin A. Gilman International Scholarship being one of them. Their website, https://gilmanapplication.iie.org, has all the information needed to help you prepare for your next study abroad experience!
If you have any questions about this, please send me an email at tang.michaely@gmail.com!
Thank you for reading through my blog.
