Two of the four Virginia Tech students selected for a Benjamin A. Gilman International Scholarship this year are in the College of Liberal Arts and Human Sciences. They are Tahrem Alam, multimedia journalism and international relations, and Eleni Demos, Russian.

Gilman scholars receive up to $5,000 to study, research, or intern abroad; those studying a language may apply for a Critical Need Language Award, which provides as much as $3,000 in additional support.
