NYU has a record number of Gilman Scholarship Recipients for Spring 2020. Sponsored by the U.S. Department of State, the Benjamin A. Gilman International Scholarship is a grant program that enables students of limited financial means to study or intern abroad, thereby gaining skills critical to our national security and economic competitiveness. The Gilman Scholarship Program is open to U.S. citizen undergraduate students who are receiving Federal Pell Grant funding at a two-year or four-year college or university to participate in study and intern abroad programs worldwide.

 

 

This year, 22 NYU students will study at ten different NYU global academic centres with the support of a Gilman scholarship. The students will be in Accra, Abu Dhabi, London, Shanghai, Tel Aviv, Buenos Aires, Madrid, Paris, Prague, and Sydney.  This is the highest number of awardees that NYU has had for a single term. NYU also had the most Gilman recipients in the state of New York. Syracuse University had the next highest number of recipients in the state with 14 recipients. We couldn’t be more pleased to see these students begin their study abroad journeys next term. Congratulations to all the Gilman Scholarship Recipients!
