Posted: July 28, 2022 by Stephanie Troutman

Out of the seven University of North Georgia (UNG) students chosen this spring for the Benjamin A. Gilman International Scholarship, two of them—Phillip Ly and Justin Wlosko—are our own PSIA students.

Phillip Ly graduated in May 2022 with a degree in Strategic and Security Studies. He plans to use his award to study in France. Philip came to UNG from Forest Park H.S., Forest Park, GA. He also previously won a Gilman Scholarship in 2019.

Justin Wlosko is a sophomore studying international relations and a graduate of Cumming, GA 's North Forsyth H.S. His scholarship will allow him to study in South Korea.

The scholarships are essay-based competitive awards that provide up to $8,000 for Pell grant eligible U.S. undergraduate students to study or intern abroad.

Congratulations to both of these outstanding members of the #PSIAfamily!

Our Commitment To Our Students, Faculty, And Staff

At the University of North Georgia, we deeply value and uphold the cherished right of every American to freely express themselves. It is a hallmark of our history, our tradition, and permeates our culture. As a distinguished Senior Military College, with a legacy spanning over 150 years, we take great pride in our role of cultivating leaders who tirelessly defend these fundamental freedoms for all citizens. The legacy of our graduates in this regard is second to none.

As campus leaders, our primary responsibility is to cultivate an academic environment that ensures this exchange of ideas and the safety of our community. Across all five campuses, we are committed to fostering a welcoming atmosphere where individuals feel empowered to freely express themselves and engage in exploration and learning. However, it is essential that these rights are exercised in a manner that upholds our academic mission, preserves the safety of all, and is in accordance with our institutional policies, without unlawful behavior. This means breaking the law, harassment, intimidation, trespassing, violence, and other criminal acts will not be tolerated at the University of North Georgia.

Together, let's uphold the principles of respect, understanding, and civility as we equip our students to walk toward their purpose.

Bold Forward!
