The U.S. Department of State’s Gilman Scholarship is an undergraduate scholarship program for U.S. citizens of limited financial means to enable them to study or intern abroad. The program provides awards of up to $5,000 for students who are U.S. citizens, Federal Pell Grant recipients, and studying at undergraduate level at a two or four-year institution. Students studying in Critical Need Language countries (Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese and others) may receive a $3,000 supplemental for a total possible award of $8,000.
This Scholarship hold an incredible opportunity to explore the world through Education Abroad programs. Receiving this scholarship will make you a more competitive candidate for jobs, other scholarships, and admission to graduate programs.
