One of the most important aspects of planning for a study abroad experience is understanding the many scholarship and funding resources and opportunities students may take advantage of. The Gilman Scholarship in particular is a program we want to highlight as we have some upcoming events to help students in the application process.
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 2 virtual information sessions to help students prepare a competitive application. During the information sessions, we will cover scholarship details, selection criteria, and tips for submitting a competitive application. We will also host a writing workshop for essay review.
