Study Abroad

Support the Gilman IIE McKeown Scholarship

Help change a student’s life through international education.

As retired educators and authors who have experienced the benefits of international education, Jim and Joan McKeown established and endowed the Gilman-McKeown Scholarship under the auspices of the U.S. Department of State’s Gilman International Scholarship Program. The Gilman-McKeown Scholarship supplements the Pell Grant and Gilman Scholarship to make full-year study abroad economically feasible for qualified students.

“I’ve experienced many things that I wouldn’t have gotten the chance to anywhere else. And I’m sure that there are many more ways that I’ve grown as a person that I have yet to recognize.”

“I am eternally grateful for the support as I pursue something that I’ve dreamed about since I was a little girl. I never thought that studying abroad for a full nine months would be possible.”
