Apply for the Gilman Scholarship!

The Gilman Scholarship is a generous federal scholarship for study abroad and a great opportunity for U.S. citizens receiving a Federal Pell Grant to fund their international experience. UT Austin is consistently a top producer of Gilman Scholars.

Education Abroad is hosting two information sessions in February to help students prepare a competitive application. The first hour will cover scholarship details, selection criteria and tips for submitting a competitive application. During the last 30 minutes, advisors will guide students through brainstorming activities for their essays. We will also host a two-hour drop-in session for essay review.
