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 current Gilman application cycle is for Spring 2025, Summer 2025, Fall 2025, and academic year 2025-2026 in-person credit-bearing study abroad or intern abroad programs. The Gilman Scholarship application deadline is Thursday, October 10, 2024, at 11:59pm Pacific Time. For more information on the Gilman Scholarship and to apply, visit gilmanscholarship.org.
