In the fall of 2021 I was fortunate enough to be awarded the Gilman Scholarship. I was set to depart to Copenhagen, Denmark that January, so I was beyond ecstatic that the Gilman scholarship could help ease some of my financial burdens. Unfortunately, Covid-19 was still rampant around the world and the Gilman Scholarship program decided to categorize Denmark as a level 3 country, meaning that Covid was still so prevalent that they did not advise anyone to travel to Denmark.
