The Gilman Scholarship is a program designed to support undergraduate students who are receiving federal financial aid and wish to study abroad. Funded by the U.S. Department of State, the scholarship aims to diversify the pool of American students who participate in international education programs. Eligible students can receive up to $5,000 to help cover costs associated with studying abroad, such as tuition, travel, and living expenses. The scholarship particularly encourages students from underrepresented backgrounds, including those studying in STEM fields, to gain global experience and enhance their academic and professional opportunities.
