Matteson’s Jones awarded Gilman scholarship
Chosen from thousands of applicants from colleges and universities across the U.S., Courtney Jones, of Matteson, is one of 12 University of Iowa undergraduates who was awarded the competitive Benjamin A. Gilman International Scholarship, sponsored by the U.S. Department of State’s Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs.
Jones will receive up to $5,000 to apply toward her study abroad or internship program costs. Scholarship recipients have the opportunity to gain a better understanding of other cultures, countries, languages, and economies — making them better prepared to assume leadership roles within government and the private sector.
She will be studying in Greece this summer on the UI faculty-led course Origins of Humanistic Counseling.
“I decided to study abroad in Greece because of my strong passion for mental health and public service,” she said. “As a nursing major, I feel that it is important to incorporate the values of counseling and therapeutic techniques to communicate with patients in order to make them feel as comfortable as possible. I believe this program is the best way to gain that experience, all whilst simultaneously experiencing a new culture and history.”
