Gilman Scholarship Application Workshop

Are you a Federal 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.

Helpful 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 2027 credit-bearing study abroad or intern abroad programs. Students planning to study or intern abroad in Summer 2027, Fall 2027, and academic year 2027-2028 who have already chosen a study abroad program may also apply to the Gilman Scholarship during this application cycle.

The Gilman Scholarship application deadline is Thursday, October 1, at 11:59pm Pacific Time. For more information on the Gilman Scholarship and to apply, visit the Gilman website and utilize this Gilman Scholarship Application Guidance for UC Berkeley Students.
