Raised in Cleveland, Ohio, she graduated from high school in 2016 and went to work for several years, at times squeezing in four jobs at once. During that time, she attended a community college and received her Associate in Arts degree. She transferred to Eckerd last September, and when she\u2019s not at the College, she works as a crew member at Trader Joe\u2019s in St. Petersburg.<\/p>\n<p>The Benjamin A. Gilman International Scholarship, a <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/United_States_Cultural_Exchange_Programs\">United States Cultural Exchange Program<\/a>, is named after the late congressman <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Benjamin_Gilman\">Benjamin Gilman<\/a>, who served in the House of Representatives from 1973 to 2003 and was active in foreign affairs issues. The program is administered by the <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/United_States_Department_of_State\">United States Department of State<\/a> and supported by the <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Institute_of_International_Education\">Institute of International Education<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>According to the Gilman Program\u2019s website, the Scholarship is intended for U.S. undergraduates from diverse backgrounds and students going to nontraditional study abroad destinations. Established under the <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/List_of_acts_of_the_106th_United_States_Congress#Public_laws\">International Academic Opportunity Act of 2000<\/a>, Gilman Scholarships provide grants for students to pursue overseas study for college credit. To be eligible, applicants must be receiving a Federal Pell Grant during the time of application.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cStudy abroad is a special experience for every student who participates,\u201d Gilman said not long after the Scholarship was established. \u201cLiving and learning in a vastly different environment of another nation not only exposes our students to alternate views \u2026 it also provides our students with the opportunity to return home with a deeper understanding of their place in the world, encouraging them to be a contributor, rather than a spectator in the international community.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Earlier this year, three Eckerd College students earned Gilman Scholarships and traveled abroad. Ivy Sanborn, a senior animal studies student from Bar Harbor, Maine, traveled to Belize; Breeya Mathis, a senior <a href=\"\/marinescience\/\">marine science<\/a> student from Memphis, Tennessee, traveled to Morocco; and Taylor Queen, a sophomore marine science student from Athens, Tennessee, traveled to the Bahamas. In all, 25 Eckerd students have benefited from Gilman Scholarships since the program began.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLilly is very passionate about wanting to work in and be involved in this field,\u201d says her mentor, <a href=\"\/animal-studies\/faculty\/frick\/\">Erin Frick, Ph.D.<\/a>, assistant professor of animal studies at Eckerd College. \u201cAnd building on her experiences in and out of the classroom is a great opportunity for her to immerse herself in this work.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re very fortunate that we have a great variety of wildlife near our campus,\u201d Fricks adds, \u201cbut this is a way to broaden that to whole different species groups, and to learn how other countries and other cultures perceive animals.
