[Iabs-talk] Scholarships for study abroad

[AZNOR99 at aol.com]

Interesting opportunity for help with funding to study abroad.  I've  heard 
that they haven't gotten as many applications from students with  disabilities 
as they'd like.

Gilman International Scholarship Program

Awards of up to $8,000 for  U.S. undergraduate students to study abroad
for up to one academic year are  awarded through the Gilman
International
Scholarship Program.   Application Deadline is September 26, 2006 for
those intending to start  studying abroad in Spring 2007.

The Gilman Program aims to diversify the  kinds of students who study
abroad and the countries and regions where they  go.  The program serves
students who have been underrepresented in study  abroad, including but
not limited to: students with high financial need,  community college
students, students in underrepresented fields such as the  sciences and
engineering, students from diverse ethnic backgrounds,  students
attending minority-serving
institutions, and students with  disabilities.  The program seeks to
assist students from a diverse range  and type of two-year and four-year
public and
private institutions from  all 50 states.

Eligibility: Students must be receiving a Federal Pell  Grant at the
time of application and cannot be studying abroad in a country  currently
under a U.S. Department of State Travel Warning or in  Cuba.

The Gilman International Scholarship Program is sponsored by  the
U.S.Department of State, Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs  and
administered by the Institute of International Education.

"The  Gilman award provided the extra funding I needed to help with
travel, books  and food while in the United Kingdom. The University of
Swansea, Wales proved  perfect for me, both in size-a campus I could
easily walk in spite of  cerebral palsy-and in the academic classes
offered. The upper-level  literature courses covered topics in my main
interest, British literature,  and I was delighted at the chance to take
beginning-level Welsh, one of  the
most beautiful, and oldest, languages in Europe." - Mary  Trickel,
graduate of the University of Tennessee-Knoxville (excerpt  from
article)
