Testimonials
"The Gilman Scholarship is set up to assist first-time study abroad students in funding their trips. I found out about the Gilman Scholarship one day before the deadline for that semester. I whipped up a very short essay and filled out the paperwork, but, I was not too optimistic about getting approved since I did not have time to prepare. Despite the brevity of my essay, I still was awarded $3,500 which I used to fund my study abroad trip to Argentina and Chile. My trip was an incredible experience that I will have with me for the rest of my life, and I owe it to the people at the Gilman Scholarship. I would highly recommend that any student considering study abroad apply. They are giving away money for you to travel and have fun with! Take it!
