Gilman Scholarship provides <strong>up to $5,000<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>The exact amount awarded is not automatically $5,000.

Gilman International Scholarship is specifically for <strong>U.S. citizens and U.S. nationals<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Permanent residents and other non-U.S. citizens are not eligible for the regular Gilman Scholarship.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, an international student studying at a U.S. university cannot apply for the Gilman Scholarship unless they meet the program&#8217;s U.S. citizenship or nationality requirement.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>What Study Abroad Programs Qualify?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The program must be <strong>credit-bearing<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>There is no minimum program length requirement, and multi-country programs can qualify.<\/p>\n<p>Eligible students can participate in study abroad programs or qualifying international internships.

It seeks broad representation from U.S. states and territories and overseas destinations.<\/p>\n<p>This means applicants should clearly explain:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Why they want to study or intern abroad<\/li>\n<li>How the program connects with their education<\/li>\n<li>How the experience supports their career goals<\/li>\n<li>What they expect to learn<\/li>\n<li>How they will share the experience with their community<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong>Benjamin A.
