Gilman Top Producers
The U.S. Department of State’s Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs is proud to announce the 20th anniversary of the Benjamin A. Gilman International Scholarship Program. Throughout its twenty-year history, the Department of State’s Gilman Program has reshaped study abroad to make it more accessible and inclusive for American students by providing scholarships to outstanding U.S. undergraduate students who, due to financial constraints, might not otherwise participate.
This year, the U.S. Department of State’s Benjamin A. Gilman International Scholarship Program is recognizing the U.S. colleges and universities that have sent the most Gilman scholars abroad over the past two decades. These institutions were recognized for their support of equity, diversity, and accessibility in study abroad for American students through the Gilman Program.
Based on 20 years of data, the top 20 institutions are being honored across four categories: small, medium, and large institutions and associate degree granting institutions. Colleges and universities in 27 states, plus D.C. and Puerto Rico, are represented, as are 33 Minority Serving Institutions.
