Are you a Pell Grant recipient and US Citizen planning to study abroad in Summer 2019, Fall 2019, or for the 2019-2020 academic year? If so you may be eligible to apply for the U.S. Department of State’s Gilman Scholarship.
The Gilman scholarship provides up to $5,000 to help pay for study abroad programs. Last year thirty University of Maryland (UMD) students were awarded Gilman Scholarships—worth a total of $107,550! Students who complete Gilman applications with support from the National Scholarships Office also earn an automatic $500 grant from the UMD Education Abroad Office just for completing a Gilman application!
The application deadline is March 5, 2019.
To be eligible, you must be: a U.S. citizen, a Pell Grant recipient, a freshman, sophomore, junior or senior (includes all majors), studying abroad for at least 21 days.
Please join us to hear from Returned Gilman Scholars about their experiences abroad. Staff from the Office of Education Abroad and NSO will provide a brief overview about studying abroad and the Gilman application process.
Food will be served!
WHEN: Tuesday, February 5, 5:00 - 6:00 pm
WHERE: 1102 HJP Patterson Hall
