The U.S. Department of State’s Benjamin A. Gilman International Scholarship Program would like to invite you, your colleagues, and your students to participate in our upcoming webinar in our Gilman Web Symposium Series for the 2013-2014 academic year, "Opportunities and Challenges for Minority Students in Education Abroad."

This online forum, moderated by Gilman Program staff, will bring together panelists to discuss minority students’ participation in education abroad. Panelists will include: Dr. Karyn Sweeney; SUNY New Paltz International Programs and Educational Opportunity Program staff; and Gilman alumni. 

The Gilman International Scholarship Program is sponsored by the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs (ECA) at the U.S. Department of State and administered by the Institute of International Education (IIE). The Gilman Program diversifies the kinds of U.S. undergraduate students who study and intern abroad and the countries and regions where they go by awarding over 2,700 scholarships annually.
