The Gilman Scholarship Application Is Now Open!

Study Abroad Funding for Pell Grant Recipients Available!

Are you interested in studying abroad? Are you a Federal Pell Grant recipient? Or are you the child of an active duty service member in the US military?

If you answered yes to two or more of those questions, you should apply for the Benjamin A. Gilman International Scholarship or the Gilman-McCain Scholarship!

The Benjamin A. Gilman International Scholarship is funded by the US Department of State to help students that are limited by financial means to study or intern abroad. Recipients are eligible to receive up to $5,000 for up to one academic year of undergraduate study abroad. More information about the Gilman Scholarship can be found here.


The Gilman-McCain Scholarship is funded by the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs at the U.S. Department of State. The Gilman-McCain Scholarship provides awards of up to $5,000 for child dependents of active duty service members to study or intern abroad. For more information about the Gilman-McCain Scholarship, go to this link.


To hear more about the Gilman Scholarship from the UMBC Education Abroad Office, please attend one of our information sessions on February 8 at 2 PM online or February 22 at 2 PM online.
