Study abroad scholarship opportunity

The Benjamin A. Gilman International Scholarship is a grant for U.S. citizen undergraduate students of limited financial means who have also been traditionally under-represented in study abroad.

The Gilman, which offers up to $5000, furthers the University of Maryland’s ongoing internationalization with support for underrepresented groups such as first generation college students, racial and ethnic minorities and transfer students among others.  In the last two years 58 UMD students received Gilman awards totaling $222,000.

Students in these categories should consider applying for this scholarship. The deadline for studying abroad in spring 2015 is October 7.
