Congrats to International Studies major Maria Osman on being awarded the competitive Benjamin A. Gilman International Scholarship! Maria will be studying next fall in Jordan on SIT's Refugee, Health, and Humanitarian Action program.

Maria chose to study in Jordan because her studies are centered in the Middle East and Arabic. She feels that the experience will be crucial in helping her determine her career direction and hopes to make connections for the future. "Studying abroad is important to me because it allows for experiences that I would never have had the opportunity to get while in the U.S. It allows you to become immersed in another culture while becoming a global citizen."
