Mar. 1 | Go abroad with the Gilman Scholarship
The Gilman Scholarship Program broadens the student population that studies abroad by supporting undergraduates who might not otherwise participate due to financial constraints. The program aims to encourage students to choose non-traditional study abroad destinations, especially those outside of Western Europe, Australia and New Zealand. The Gilman Scholarship Program aims to support students who have been traditionally under-represented in study abroad, including but not limited to, students with high financial need, community college students, students in under-represented fields such as the sciences and engineering, students with diverse ethnic backgrounds, and students with disabilities.
The Gilman Scholarship Program offers awards of up to $5,000 for undergraduate study abroad. In addition, students studying Arabic (all dialects), Chinese (all dialects), Bahsasa Indonesia, Japanese, Turkic (Azerbaijani, Kazakh, Kyrgz, Turkish, Turkmen, Uzbek), Persian, Indic (Hindi, Urdu, Nepali, Sinhala, Bengali, Punjabi, Marathi, Gujarati, Sindhi), Korean, Russian, or Swahili may be eligible for an additional $3,000 Critical Need Language Supplement.
