Manchester College pre-med student
receives
scholarship to study next semester in
Ecuador
Manchester College sophomore Andrea M. Numbers of Woodburn, Ind., will
study in Ecuador during spring semester on a Benjamin A. Gilman
International Scholarship. Numbers, who is majoring in biology-chemistry
and Spanish, will use the scholarship to study at Universidad San
Francisco de Quito, where she will further her goals of becoming a
doctor and serving others.
She is one of six Indiana recipients of the competitive scholarship
funded by the U.S. Department of State and the Bureau of Educational and
Cultural Affairs. The Gilman International Scholarship Program is
designed to “better prepare U.S. students to assume significant roles in
an increasingly global economy and interdependent world.”
Manchester, a Church
of the Brethren college, offers 45 areas of study to 1,075 students from
23 states and 30 countries. When Numbers returns to Manchester College
to continue her studies next fall, she will join the first pre-med
students to study in a new $17 million Science Center.
