Application Process

Step 1: Submit application by student deadline.

The following are critical components of the application:

• Statement of Purpose and Community Impact Essays
• Transcripts (unofficial and official both accepted)
• Abroad Program Details (only credit-bearing programs are eligible)
• Certifying Advisors (select your study abroad and financial aid advisor)

A PDF version of the online application is available for reference. As a reminder, only applications submitted through the online portal will be considered.

Step 2: Both Study Abroad and Financial Aid Certifying Advisors must certify your application by the advisor deadline.

• It is the applicant’s responsibility to ensure that both advisors have certified their application by the advisor deadline.
• All applicants must contact the appropriate offices at their home institutions to determine the correct study abroad and financial aid certifying advisors they should select to certify their application.
• If an advisor is not listed within the online application, reach out to the appropriate advisor(s) at your institution and ask them to register as a Gilman advisor prior to the application deadline. Once they are registered you will be able to select your institution and advisors in your application.
• Applications without certifications will not be considered.
