Gilman deadlines for 2027
The spring 2027 cycle has a student deadline of 25 February 2027 at 11:59 pm Pacific Time, an advisor certification deadline of 4 March 2027 and notification in May 2027. It covers programmes starting between 1 May 2027 and 30 April 2028. The fall 2026 cycle closed on 1 October; its notifications are due in December. Late applications are not accepted.
Who can apply
This is a US programme. Per the eligibility page, applicants must be US citizens or nationals, undergraduates at an accredited US institution, receiving a Federal Pell Grant when they apply or able to show they will during their term, and applying to or accepted into a credit-bearing study abroad or internship programme.
Where you can go
The destination must have an overall Travel Advisory Level 1 or 2, and areas rated Level 3 or 4 are off-limits. Programmes at institutions on the Section 1286 NDAA list are barred; the page says the list dated 26 June 2026 applies to programmes in China. Recipients can receive the award only once.
Planning your application
Choose the cycle matching your programme dates, and remember advisor certification is a separate, later deadline. Award amounts are on the programme overview page, not the pages we reviewed. If you are not a US student, see our guides to Erasmus Mundus and Commonwealth scholarships, and check your options with our visa eligibility checker.
