Student Testimonial:

Dear GT Alumni Scholarship Class of 1968:

Thank you for your support on the scholarship! I had a blast while studying abroad in Hong Kong, and it was quite an experience being able to learn in a different environment, experience cultural differences, meet new people, and explore various regions. Not only was I able to collaborate with the locals, I also met a lot of other students and professors there from around the world. It was pleasing to share my thoughts and culture with others and learn about others’ culture as well.

There were a lot of things I had to adapt to while abroad. Among everything, transportation was the biggest difference between abroad and home. It was awesome to have such an exciting semester studying and traveling. I visited several countries and each country was special. Whether it was their food, people, or society, it was amazing. It was an unforgettable experience, and I’m glad I chose to study abroad. It was definitely a fulfilling and memorable experience I would share and recommend to friends and undergraduates and convince them not to miss a great opportunity. Thank GT Alumni Class of 1968! Thanks for your support on study abroad and exchange programs!

Once again thank you for your generosity. On behalf of all recipients, thank you for supporting students at Georgia Institute of Technology.

~Allison C., Spring 2010 scholarship winner, ISYE undergraduate

Congratulations, Ryan! University of Sheffield

Congratulations to Ryan for his scholarship! Ryan will be spending the Spring 2010 semester on the Sheffield Exchange Program at the University of Sheffield in England. Please read the short article below to learn more about his upcoming experience!

Name: Ryan McGowan
Major: Aerospace Engineering
Year: 2012
Location of study: University of Sheffield, England

The scholarship I applied for was the University of Sheffield in America Study Abroad Scholarship. I won £500 for submitting some information about me (name, home university, major, etc.) as well as a short essay about my personal and academic interests online.

I plan on taking classes on circuits, medieval history, deformable bodies, philosophy, and electromagnetism to fulfill some of the requirements for my major, but I'm also looking forward for the opportunity to become involved around campus and see what college education is like in another country. Of course, some may say that the UK is one of the most similar countries when compared to the United States (and I do hope to do some travel around the rest of Europe), but I definitely think there is a lot of interesting history and culture present just within England.

Overall, I am excited for the experience of going to a completely different continent (I've never been overseas before) and seeing how nations around the world interact with one another while maintaining their own unique heritage.
