The U.S. Department of State’s Gilman International Scholarship Program  scholarships for U.S. undergraduate students who receive a Federal Pell Grant to study or intern abroad for academic credit. The program’s goal is to broaden the student population that studies and interns abroad by supporting undergraduates who might not otherwise participate due to financial constraints. The program also encourages study of languages in diverse countries and world regions.
