Are you a student planning to study abroad Winter or Spring Quarter, 2009 through an Evergreen program, contract, internship or consortium partner?
 
Are you planning to study for at least 4 weeks in your destination country?
 
Are you a U.S. citizen?
 
Does your financial aid award include the U.S. Pell Grant?
 
If you answered YES to all four questions, then you are eligible to apply for a study abroad scholarship called the Benjamin A. Gilman Award.  This national program offers up to $5000 for study abroad costs, and perhaps another $3000 in support if you are studying a critical need language such as Arabic, Russian, Hindi, Turkic, Persian, Korean, Chinese and others.
 
There will be over 450 scholarships awarded nationally this year and there is no limit on the number of Evergreen students who might receive one. In the past, as many as 15 Evergreen students have received awards totaling over $65,000 in a single academic year.
 
Please visit www.iie.org/gilman <http://www.iie.org/gilman>  to learn more, and please contact Michael Clifthorne, Coordinator of International Programs and Services, to better understand the application process and learn of certain administrative requirements.  International Programs, the Writing Center, KEY Student Services, WATEP Student Services, and First Peoples Advising are available to assist with the scholarship application process.
