Gilman Scholarships

  • The U.S. Department of State’s Gilman Scholarship enables American undergraduate students who receive a Pell Grant to study or intern abroad through scholarships of up to $5,000.
    • Students studying critical need languages are eligible for a supplemental award up to $3,000, and students conducting STEM research abroad are eligible for a supplemental award up to $1,000.
       
  • The Gilman-McCain Scholarship for Military Families also supports child and spousal dependents of active or activated duty military members by providing awards of $5,000.

Deadlines: Scholarships are awarded twice annually. Typically, the deadlines are in early October and early March. Plan ahead and talk to an advisor in our office for help! 

Step 1: Research programs and read the tips for CU Boulder students. Mark your calendar with deadline dates and make a plan to apply.
Step 2: Reach out to the CU Boulder Gilman Scholarship advisor at Adilene.GarciaAniles@colorado.edu if you have questions.
