Benjamin A. Gilman International Scholarship
Zoila Coc-Chang '18 received the Gilman scholarship for her summer internship in Cape Town, South Africa
The Benjamin A. Gilman International Scholarship awards scholarships of up to $5,000 (and an additional $3,000 for critical languages). This amount can really help finance an experience abroad. With commitment and preparation, Brandeis students tend to do well in the application process, as evidenced by the extensive list of recipients below.
This application is more involved than some others and students need to meet with an advisor for help completing their applications. Visit Gilman's website for eligibility, prize amounts, to create an account, and for more information. The scholarship is available for Pell Grant-eligible students who are studying abroad for credit in the fall, spring, or summer terms.
Students may also be eligible for the Gilman-McCain Scholarship, a newly established award available to students who are child dependents of active duty military members. Students applying to the Gilman-McCain Scholarship do not need to be Pell Grant-eligible. Please see your study abroad advisor for details.
