4/8/02

DENTON — Three international students at Texas Woman's University have received Good Neighbor Scholarships. The three are:

• German R. Arenas, a master's reading education student from Colombia;
• Sonia Elizabeth Gibbs, a senior from Barbados majoring in business administration-marketing; and
• Nola Smith from Trinidad and Tobago, who is majoring in nursing at the Dallas/Parkland campus.

The Good Neighbor Scholarship Program, administered by the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board, pays the tuition costs of scholarship recipients for an entire academic year.

The Good Neighbor Scholarship Program is open to international students who are citizens of countries in the Western Hemisphere, except Cuba. The student must intend to return to his or her native country upon completion of his or her degree.

Students also must be attending or be eligible to attend public colleges or universities in the state of Texas to receive the scholarship. Students who are permanent residents of the United States, or who have refugee status, are not eligible for the program.

Undergraduate students must have a 2.0 or better grade-point-average, and graduate students must have a 3.0 or higher GPA.
