The Benjamin A. Gilman International Scholarship Program offers grants to undergraduate students of U.S. citizenship with limited financial means to pursue academic studies or credit-bearing, career-oriented internships abroad. The scholarship program supports students who have been traditionally under-represented in study abroad, including students in under-represented fields such as the sciences and engineering, students with diverse ethnic backgrounds, and students with disabilities.
