The Institute of International Education (IIE) is a congressionally funded program sponsored by the U.S. Department of State, Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs. It is administered by IIE through its office in Houston, Texas.
The program offers grants of up to $5,000 for U.S. citizens, undergraduate students to pursue study abroad opportunities worldwide. The Gilman Scholarship Program aims to diversify and expand participation in international education by assisting those students who have been traditionally under-represented in U.S. study abroad. This includes, but is not limited to students studying in non-traditional locations outside of Western Europe and Australia, students with high financial need, community college students, students with diverse ethnic backgrounds, students with disabilities and students of non-traditional age.

Applicants must be applying or accepted into a credit-eligible, single-country program. Programs must be between four weeks and one academic year in length. Students may apply to study in any nation, with the exception of Cuba, and those countries currently under a U.S. Department of State Travel Warning.
