The Gilman International Scholarship Program, sponsored by the U.S. Department of State’s Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs, offers grants for U.S. citizen undergraduate students to pursue academic studies or credit-bearing, career-oriented internships abroad.

At Hamilton, Buckholtz is student manager for Bon Appetit, president of the Vegan Club, and vice president of the Spanish club. She served as an ESOL tutor with Project Shine, and taught Spanish at Clinton elementary school.

The international exchange offered by the Gilman Scholarship is intended to better prepare U.S. students to assume significant roles in an increasingly global economy and interdependent world. Gilman scholars receive up to $5,000 to apply toward their study abroad or internship program costs.
