Benjamin A. Gilman International Scholarship

Founded under the International Academic Opportunity Act of 2000 this congressionally-funded program is sponsored by the U.S. Department of State, Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs and administered by the Institute of International Education. The Gilman Scholarship program aims to broaden the student population that studies abroad by supporting undergraduates who have been traditionally underrepresented in US study abroad and those with high financial need.

The program encourages students to choose nontraditional study abroad destinations, especially those outside of Western Europe and Australia, and aims to support students traditionally underrepresented in US study abroad. This includes but is not limited to, students with high financial need; community college students; students in underrepresented fields such as the sciences and engineering; students with diverse ethnic backgrounds; and students with disabilities. The program seeks to support applicants from a diverse range and type of two-year and four-year public and private institutions from all 50 states. Community College students are particularly encouraged to apply.

The Gilman Scholarship provides awards of up to $5,000 for U.S. citizen undergraduate students to pursue country-based undergraduate opportunities abroad that are a minimum of four weeks and up to one academic year in length. To be eligible, students must be receiving a Federal Pell Grant at the time of application and cannot be studying abroad in a country currently under a U.S. Department of State Travel Warning or in Cuba.
