Scholarship Update

I just found out that I was nominated by my professors for another departmental scholarship this year. I was really excited, but I have to admit that I was secretly hoping it would be bigger than the $200 I received the previous year. Was it ever. I got $1552.51 which I get to apply to my Miami Bursar bill next semester! That will certainly help with some of the expenses. I also have an application pending for the Gilman Scholarship, which I should hear back about in the next three weeks. I am not sure that I will qualify due to my lack of "diversity" but there is no harm in hoping... especially if it means more financial aid while I am abroad! Now I'm off to go research those expensive things called plane tickets...
