The Benjamin A. Gilman International Scholarship Program, with the support of the U.S. Congress, is reshaping study abroad to make it more accessible and inclusive for American students. The Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs (ECA), U.S. Department of State, is committed to ensuring that our next generation of leaders — American students of all backgrounds — engage internationally to foster mutual understanding and develop critical skills in support of our national security and economic prosperity, as well as their own futures.
With the Gilman Top Producers list, ECA recognizes U.S. higher education institutions, based on size and type, which have generated the most Gilman scholars. ECA also highlights institutions that are at the forefront of expanding study abroad through the Gilman program by sending the most first-generation college students, racial or ethnic minority students, students with disabilities, or students studying in STEM fields. Institutions sending the most Gilman Scholars to the largest number of different overseas destinations also receive recognition for their role in broadening the geographical diversity in study abroad.

The Gilman Program broadens the U.S. student population that studies and interns abroad by providing scholarships to outstanding undergraduates who, due to financial constraints, might not otherwise participate. Since the program’s establishment in 2001, over 1,300 U.S. institutions have sent more than 25,000 Gilman Scholars to 145 countries around the globe.
