Quota: 3600

The scholarship amounts range from US$100 to US$5000 (with the opportunity to receive a Critical Need Language Award of up to US$8000). Scholars are chosen by a competitive selection process and must use the award to defray eligible study or intern abroad costs. These costs include tuition, room and board, books, local transportation, insurance, international airfare, passport and visa fees. A Gilman Scholar’s final award amount will be determined by financial need, program length, overall program costs and the strength of the application.

Over 3,600 scholarships of up to $5,000 will be awarded this academic year for U.S. citizen undergraduates to study or intern abroad.

Gilman Scholarship recipients can only receive the scholarship once. If a student previously declined the Gilman Scholarship, they are welcome to re-apply, as long as they still meet all eligibility requirements, as follows:

• A citizen of the United States;
• An undergraduate student in good standing at an accredited institution of higher education in the United States (including both 2-year and 4-year institutions);
• Receiving a Federal Pell Grant during the time of application or provide proof that they will be receiving a Pell Grant during the term of their study abroad program or internship;
• In the process of applying to, or accepted for, a study abroad or internship program of at least 2 weeks for community college students and 3 weeks for students from 4-year institutions, eligible for credit from the student’s home institution. Multi-country, multi-area, and multi-city programs are eligible and there is no minimum requirement on length of time spent in 1 country, city, or area. The entirety of the program abroad must be at least 2 weeks (14 days) for community college students and 3 weeks (21 days) for students from 4-year institutions. There are no maximum or minimum number of countries, cities, or, areas. Proof of program acceptance is required prior to award disbursement;
• Applying for credit-bearing study abroad programs in a country or area with an overall Travel Advisory Level 1 or 2, according to the U.S. Department of State’s Travel Advisory System. But certain locations within these countries or areas may be designated within the Travel Advisory as either “Do not travel to” (Level 4) or “Reconsider travel to” (Level 3) locations, as such; students will not be allowed to travel to these specific locations. Moreover, students are not eligible to apply for programs in a country or area with an overall Level 3 or 4 Travel Advisory.

The U.S. Department of State reserves the right to request program changes for specific countries or areas if deemed necessary during any stage of the application, selection process, or program period. Final awards are contingent upon the availability of funds and the security situation in the country. Furthermore, programs in progress may be suspended at the request of the U.S. Embassy in country should security situation deteriorate during the course of the program. Should a Travel Advisory change to a Level 3 or 4 after the student has been granted the award, the program will coordinate with participants to select a different destination study site.

Students can study and intern abroad during the spring, summer, fall, winter, or academic year term. Applicants must also submit a Community Impact Essay when applying.

The October deadline application will open for applicants whose programs start between 1 December, to 31 October, in mid-August. This cycle encompasses Winter, Spring, Summer, Fall, and AY-2022 programs.

The March deadline application is closed for applicants whose programs that start between 1 May to 30 April. This cycle encompasses Summer, Fall, AY-2021, Winter, and Spring programs.
