Two MCC Students Awarded Scholarships To Study Abroad
Izamonique Edouard and Jacqueline Jolicoeur each received the Benjamin A. Gilman International Scholarship to study abroad.
Two Middlesex Community College students have been awarded scholarships from the U.S. Department of State to study abroad at Bath Spa University in Bath, England, during the 2016 spring semester.
Izamonique Edouard, of Lawrence, and Jacqueline Jolicoeur, of Woburn, each received a Benjamin A. Gilman International Scholarship, which supports undergraduates who might not otherwise participate in study abroad programs due to financial constraints.
Gilman Scholarship recipients are chosen by a competitive selection process and must use the award to cover study abroad costs, including tuition, room and board, books, local transportation, insurance, and international airfare.

“The only reason it’s possible for me to study abroad is because of this scholarship,” said Edouard, who currently studies social science at MCC. “I’m really excited to have this opportunity – educationally and personally. Not only do I get to study different countries and economies to see how they relate to one another, I get to personally experience new cultures.”
When she returns from her study abroad experience in June, she will have earned an associate degree from MCC. She then plans on continuing her education in the U.S. to earn a bachelor’s degree in economics.
