19 WKU students earned the Benjamin A. Gilman International Scholarship for study abroad in the October 2024 application cycle, more than any other college or university in Kentucky.
The Gilman Scholarship broadens the student population that studies or interns abroad by supporting undergraduates who might not otherwise participate due to financial constraints. The 19 recipients in this application cycle earned scholarships totaling $67,000 with an average award amount of $3,500.
Of those who worked with the Office of Scholar Development, 39% of WKU applicants were named recipients. This average national selection rate for the Gilman Scholarship is approximately 25%.
