Semester at sea for Phamdo
Junior Eric Phamdo was one of five students selected from a nationwide applicant pool to be awarded the Semester at Sea Scholarship. The scholarship pays half the expenses for a tour of eight different countries.
Participants were required to submit an essay answering why they wanted the scholarship, as well as a creative photo that visualizes a semester at sea. Phamdo’s photo was of him and a seal looking face-face on a beach.
Phamdo is the second UR student to win the scholarship since it started in 1963.
