Gilman Scholarships Send Eight Baruch Students Abroad

May 8, 2026

This summer and fall, eight Baruch undergraduates will participate in study abroad programs as recipients of the prestigious Benjamin A. Gilman International Scholarship.

Scholarship amounts range from $2,500 to $7,500, and two students also won Critical Needs Language Supplements to study Chinese.

Established by the U.S. Congress and funded by the Department of State, the highly competitive Gilman Program offers merit-based scholarships to American undergraduate students with high financial need, equipping them with the international experience, global networks, and foreign language skills that are essential to national security and economic prosperity.
