The scholarship offers funding for undergraduates who might not otherwise participate due to financial constraints, to study or intern abroad. The Gilman Program awards approximately 3,000 scholarships of up to $5,000. The program encourages students to take STEM-related coursework abroad as part of their study abroad or international internship program. The program also encourages students to study critical need languages (those deemed important to national security). Veterans of military service are encouraged to apply, and preference is given to veterans when other factors are equivalent. The Gilman Program prioritizes representation from all U.S. states and territories and a broad range of overseas destinations, with a preference for countries where it is less common for U.S. students to study abroad. Students can study or participate in internships abroad in a wide array of countries to build their career-readiness skills which supports U.S. national security and economic prosperity.
