Gilman Scholarship Application Workshop

Are you a Pell Grant recipient and U.S. citizen who is planning to study and/or intern abroad? Attend the Gilman Scholarship Application Workshop and learn about the Benjamin A. Gilman International Scholarship, a federal scholarship which funds up to $5,000 towards a study abroad experience. Co-presented by Berkeley Study Abroad and the Financial Aid and Scholarships Office, the Gilman Scholarship Application Workshop will offer a presentation on Gilman eligibility requirements and the Gilman application process, as well as a detailed overview on how the Gilman scholarship will factor into your financial aid package. Tips and advice for preparing a strong application will be shared, followed by a Q&A with a panel of UC Berkeley Gilman Scholars.

The Gilman application is currently open for applicants whose study abroad or intern abroad programs start between May 1, 2024 to April 30, 2025. This application cycle encompasses Summer 2024, Fall 2024, academic year 2024-2025, and Spring 2025 programs or internships. The Gilman Scholarship application deadline is Thursday, March 7 at 11:59pm Pacific Time. For more information on the Gilman Scholarship and to apply, visit gilmanscholarship.org.
