Founded under the International Academic Opportunity Act of 2000 this  
congressionally-funded program is sponsored by the U.S. Department of  
State, Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs and administered by  
the Institute of International Education. The Gilman Scholarship  
Program broadens the student population that studies abroad by

in US study abroad and those with high financial need. The program aims  
to encourage students to choose nontraditional study abroad  
destinations, especially those outside of Western Europe and Australia,  
and aims to support students who have been traditionally  
underrepresented in study abroad. This includes but is not limited to,  
students with high financial need, community college students, students  
in underrepresented fields such as education, the sciences and  
engineering, students with diverse ethnic backgrounds, students with  
disabilities, and students of nontraditional age. The program seeks to  
assist students from a diverse range and type of two-year and four-year  
public and private institutions from all 50 states.

The Gilman Scholarship provides awards of up to $5,000 for U.S. citizen  
undergraduate students at two- and four-year institutions to pursue  
country-based undergraduate opportunities abroad of up to one academic  
year. To be eligible students must be receiving a Federal Pell Grant at  
the time of application and cannot be studying abroad in a country  
currently under a U.S. Department of State Travel Warning or in Cuba.  
Short-term programs are eligible provided they are a minimum of four
