The Penn State Abington librarian expected to present his research at a conference and come home. He didn't know the trip would connect him to his childhood experiences in Vietnam.
Penn State Abington received a $20,000 grant from the Penn State Bookstore, which is operated by Barnes & Noble College, to help provide underrepresented students with access to transformative international experiences.
The Erickson Discovery Grants application is still open for students looking to secure a grant for opportunities this summer. Last year, 72 grants were awarded at $3,500 each to fund summer 2018 experiences. The deadline to apply is Monday, Jan. 21.
