Funding

Studying abroad can be a life-changing experience! The Gilman Scholarship Program provides up to $5,000 for undergraduate students who are U.S. citizens and Federal Pell Grant recipients at four-year institutions. The Gilman-McCain Scholarship provides awards of $5,000 and is also now available for child dependents of active duty military personnel who receive any type of Title IV Federal Financial Aid to study or intern abroad.
