LOOKING
FOR FINANCIAL AID TO STUDY ABROAD?
U.S. undergraduates
can apply to receive financial support for study abroad programs worldwide
through the new Benjamin A. Gilman
International Scholarship Program of the Bureau of Educational and Cultural
Affairs. The program is named after Congressman Ben Gilman (R-NY),
the legislation's sponsor. The Institute of International Education, a
New York-based non-profit organization, will administer the program through
its Southern Regional Office in Houston, Texas under a grant from the
Bureau. Established under the International Academic Opportunity Act of
2000, Gilman International Scholarships
will provide up to $5,000 for American students to pursue overseas study
for college credit. The Gilman Program aims to broaden and increase the
study abroad population by aiding undergraduate students who are under
financial constraints. For an application form or further information,
please check the program's website.
