Study Abroad Scholarship
The Institute of International Education (IIE) is pleased to announce the opening of the Fall 2004 application cycle for the Benjamin A. Gilman International Scholarship on March 1, 2004. This congressionally-funded program is sponsored by the US Department of State, Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs. It is administered by IIE through its office in Houston, Texas.
The program awards grants of up to $5,000 for US-citizen, undergraduate students to pursue study abroad opportunities worldwide. The Gilman Scholarship Program aims to diversify and expand participation in international education by assisting those students who have been traditionally under-represented in US study abroad. This includes, but is not limited to students studying in non-traditional locations outside of Western Europe and Australia, students with high financial need, community college students, students with diverse ethnic backgrounds, students with disabilities, and students of non-traditional age.
To be eligible the applicant must be an undergraduate enrolled at a US institution of higher education, and be receiving a Pell grant at the time of application. Applicants must be applying or accepted into a credit-eligible, single-country program. Programs must be between four weeks and one academic year in length. Students may apply to study in any nation with the exception of Cuba and those countries currently under a US Department of State Travel Warning. Preference is given to those students studying outside of the traditional study abroad destinations of Western Europe and Australia.
Upcoming Deadline: April 15, 2004
The Fall 2004 cycle is open to students participating in programs that begin between July 15 and October 15, 2004 - excluding summer-only study abroad programs. The online application deadline is April 15, 2004. To access the online application and timeline please go to the Gilman website at http://iie.co.mansellgroup.net/UM/T.asp?A1734.38862.11851.1.127695
