Cost is a significant factor students need to consider when selecting a program. Here at the Office for Global Engagement we believe that the benefits of studying abroad are worth the cost, and we do not want the price to prevent you from participating in a Study Abroad program.
Check out the scholarship opportunities below and talk with our Education Abroad Coordinator to learn how to finance your international experience.

Benjamin A. Gillman International Scholarship
The U.S. Department of State’s Benjamin A. Gilman International Scholarship Program broadens the student population that studies and interns abroad by supporting undergraduates who might not otherwise participate due to financial constraints. The program aims to encourage students to study and intern in a diverse array of countries or areas and world regions. The program also encourages students to study languages, especially critical need languages.
Must be a recipient of the Federal Pell Grant.
Up to $5,000.
Veterans of military service are encouraged to apply, and preference is given to veterans when other factors are equivalent. By supporting undergraduate students who have high financial need, the program has been successful in supporting students who have been historically underrepresented in education abroad, including but not limited to first-generation college students, students in STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) fields, ethnic minority students, students with disabilities, students attending HBCUs (Historically Black Colleges and Universities) or other minority-serving institutions, students attending community colleges, and students coming from U.S. states with less study abroad participation.
Application Deadlines: October 6, 2020 & March 2, 2021
