Hunter’s 18 Gilman Awardees Set To Jet to Far-Flung Countries

Japan. Ghana. Spain. Australia. South Korea. Indonesia. 

These are just a few of the countries that will be hosting Hunter students during the summer and fall semesters, as they take advantage of Benjamin A. Gilman scholarships that they won for study abroad. 

The prestigious scholarships, which are awarded twice annually by the U.S. Department of State’s Institute of International Education, enable Pell Grant-eligible U.S. citizen undergraduates to pursue academic studies or career-oriented internships in foreign countries. Gilman Scholars receive as much as $5,000 (or as much as $8,000 if they plan to study a “critical need” foreign language) for their study abroad or internship program costs. 

The scholarships exemplify Hunter’s commitment to serving as an anchor institution, providing high-impact, life-changing study opportunities for its students. Inspired by the varied life experiences students bring to the classroom, Hunter’s faculty and staff invest deeply in student success. For more than 150 years, Hunter has been one of the nation’s most diverse higher education institutions and one of its most effective engines of social mobility.    

“There is no doubt that Hunter students continue to see the value in expanding their horizons beyond the United States, and it is heartening when they receive this strong support from the Gilman Scholarship,” said Director of Education Abroad Sarah Craver.  

In the 2024–25 academic year, 22 students won Gilmans, which are named for a late New York Republican Congress member who headed the House Foreign Relations Committee from 1995 to 2002. A record 28 Hunter College students were named as Gilman Scholars in 2023–24. 

Hunter’s Office of Prestigious Scholarships and Fellowships has a stellar record of preparing students for competitive scholarships and fellowships. In recent years, the college has produced two Rhodes, three Marshall, seven Schwarzman, five Luce, eight Goldwater, and 39 Fulbright Scholars, among many other prestigious awardees.
