Learn More about the Gilman Study Abroad Scholarship!! #hogsabroad

The Gilman Scholarship offers funding for students who have been traditionally underrepresented in study abroad. If you are either currently receiving a Pell Grant or are Pell Grant eligible, this is a very promising way to get around $5,000 in funding for your study abroad program during the semester.  Typically 1 in 3 applicants are awarded grants for a semester/year study abroad, so it is VERY possible that you have a shot at funding too!

We at the Office of Study Abroad have a few information meetings coming up regarding the application process and wanted to share that, with a little information about the program (see details below).
