WSU has had multiple Gilman Scholars over the years, and you could be the next to win the award to study abroad!

Join our workshop series that focuses on the prestigious, nationally competitive Gilman Scholarship. You’ll learn about eligibility requirements (applicants must be Pell Grant eligible) and how to write effective scholarship essays for this award.

Participate in at least 3 of 4 interactive, writing-centered activities and submit your Gilman application to qualify for a $250 award from the WSU Distinguished Scholarship Program to use for your study abroad program (regardless of any final decision from Gilman on your application).
