What if the country of study my student has chosen goes on a U.S. Department of State Travel Warning either prior to or while they are abroad?
A. As the Gilman Scholarship Program is sponsored by the U.S. Department of State, Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs no Gilman Scholarship may be awarded to a student studying in a country that is currently under a Travel Warning. If a Travel Warning is issued for the country prior to the departure, the Gilman Scholarship Program will assist the student in finding an alternative location of study abroad. If they are unable to find an alternative location of study abroad for that term they will need to decline their Gilman Scholarship and they will then be able to reapply for a future cycle. The Gilman Scholarship Program regularly sends Gilman Scholars abroad any updates to Consular Information Sheets, Public Announcements or Travel Warnings for their country of study. It is for this reason that all Gilman Scholars abroad are required to maintain a valid, working email address with the Gilman office and submit the Emergency Contact Information Sheet. Should an emergency arise
