今年，又有三名威尼斯人娱乐城学生获得了价值数千美元的联邦助学金，通过本杰明·吉尔曼国际奖学金项目出国留学。
今年4月，威尼斯人娱乐城宣布了两项针对学生的海外留学资助。 国会资助的吉尔曼奖学金为杰出的本科生佩尔奖学金获得者提供经济支持，因为经济限制，他们可能无法出国留学。
最新一轮拨款包括前两名威尼斯人娱乐城军人家庭约翰·s·麦凯恩国际奖学金（吉尔曼·麦凯恩奖学金）的获得者，该奖学金以已故亚利桑那州参议员约翰·s·麦凯恩命名。 这些奖学金是为现役或现役美国军事人员的子女和配偶保留的。
Nuria Telles of Kearney, Missouri and 伊丽莎白Stepp of Kansas City are both participating in a six-week summer program at the University of Málaga, located in southern Spain on the Mediterranean coast. 来自密苏里州伦纳德伍德堡的艾莉森·斯考比将在苏格兰参加为期四周的荣誉暑期课程。
斯特普主修护理，计划于2024年春季毕业。 她是麦凯恩学者。
“My dad, Col. Ryan Stepp, has been a C-130 pilot in the Air Force and a member of the Missouri Air National Guard since 1998,” she said. “Along with my mom, he has been the most influential person in my life. 如果没有他，我真的不会有不断提高自己和继续学习西班牙语的愿望。 He has traveled extensively throughout his career and knows the importance of learning about other cultures. He encourages me to seek every opportunity to improve my Spanish-speaking abilities.”
她的长期职业目标是成为一名注册护士麻醉师。 她认为，能说一口流利的西班牙语将是她的职业优势，使她能够在医院照顾更多的病人，并参与医疗任务。
她说，吉尔曼-麦凯恩奖学金使这次旅行成为一个现实的目标。
“It helps me to spend my summer developing my Spanish-speaking abilities by exploring another country rather than working,” she said. “It also allows me to put more money towards furthering my education in the future so I can accomplish my career goals.”
语言文学专业的泰勒斯计划于2024年毕业，她也将出国留学的机会视为关键的职业驱动力。 她希望成为一名美国外交官员。
“I hope to gain a new perspective on my own culture and my host country’s culture,” she said.
奖学金使她的经历成为可能，她想把奖学金提前支付。
“I would also like to one day have my own scholarship foundation, helping others from underrepresented communities.”
同为吉尔曼-麦凯恩奖获得者的斯科比是一名主修心理学和化学的大一学生，辅修医学伦理学。 她参加了威尼斯人娱乐城荣誉计划，是一名后备军官训练队学员。
“I have a huge interest and passion for anthropology, so I'm hoping to gain insight into what studying other cultures is actually like,” she said. “The trip is meant to fully immerse us, so I'm hoping that I learn a lot and can add some anthropological strategies to my toolbelt.”
她的职业目标是成为一名医生或神经心理学家。
“The Gilman Scholarship is so important to this trip,” she said. “Without it, I definitely would not be going. 我很高兴能收到它，因为我上大学是想出国留学，现在我有了这个机会。 Honestly, it hasn't quite sunk in yet that I'm going.”
