Established in 2001, the Benjamin A. Gilman International Scholarship Program is committed to sending American students of limited financial means from all backgrounds to study abroad.

 

Eamaan Turk received the Gilman Scholarship to study abroad in Paris, France on the Purdue in Paris program. With its prominent role in establishing Doctors Without Borders, France is the perfect destination for this aspiring healthcare professional. While there, she looks forward to learning about minorities and immigration in Paris while completing two requirements for her French language minor.

 

No stranger to navigating challenges related to diversity, Eamaan’s past experiences inform her commitment to ensuring everyone has access to healthcare. With this goal, she volunteered with the Physicians for National Health Program in Chicago and plans to join Doctors Without Borders after finishing her education.
