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).
