U.S. Government Scholarships for Study Abroad
The University offers hands-on advising for prestigious U.S. Government Scholarships for study abroad, including the Benjamin A. Gilman International Scholarship, Boren Awards, Critical Language Scholarship Program, and Fulbright.
Benjamin A. Gilman International Scholarship
The U.S. Department of State’s Gilman Scholarship is a grant program that enables U.S. citizen undergraduate students of limited financial means to study or intern abroad. The Gilman Scholarship Program broadens the student population that studies and interns abroad by supporting undergraduates receiving Pell Grants who might not otherwise participate due to financial constraints.
Developed under the framework of the State Department’s Benjamin A. Gilman International Scholarship Program, the John McCain International Scholarship for the Children of Military Families (Gilman-McCain Scholarship) is open to undergraduate child dependents of active duty service members to study or intern abroad on credit-bearing programs who receive any type of Title IV federal financial aid from accredited U.S. colleges and universities.
Students may receive up to $5,000, and are eligible to receive an additional $3,000 if pursuing a program in a critical need language.
