The Office of International Programs administers scholarships to support study abroad and can help Binghamton students identify and apply for funding sources external to the university. The Office of International Programs has a wealth of information on program-specific and national scholarship opportunities, including, but not limited to, the following. Several Binghamton students have won these prestigious awards.
The Gilman scholarship aims to support US citizen undergraduates who traditionally have been underrepresented in study abroad, including students with high financial need, students in underrepresented fields such as the sciences and engineering, students with diverse ethnic backgrounds, and students of nontraditional age. Awards of up to $5,000 are available.

The Boren Scholarships enable U.S. undergraduates to study abroad in world regions critical to US interests (including Africa, Asia, Eastern Europe, Eurasia, Latin America, the Caribbean, and the Middle East). The scholarship is intended to provide support to students who will pursue the study of languages and cultures currently underrepresented in study abroad and critical to U.S. national security. The study of foreign language must be a major component of the program. For additional information, contact Mary Burns, mburns@binghamton.edu, the Office of International Programs.

The NSEP Boren Fellowship enables U.S. graduate students to add an international and language component to their graduate education through specialization in area study, language study or increased language proficiency. The fellowships are intended to support U.S. graduate students who will pursue the study of languages and cultures deemed critical to US national security, and who are highly motivated by the opportunity to work in the federal government (in exchange for the funding, Boren Fellows agree to a NSEP Service Requirement). Applicants must be registered graduate students or in the process of applying to graduate school. The fellowships are made for a minimum of one semester, to a maximum of two years (the overseas component is limited to 12 months). They can provide for oversees or domestic study or a combination of both. The fellowship does not support the general tuition costs of obtaining a degree, but rather supports study that enriches a graduate program. For additional information, contact Mary Burns, mburns@binghamton.edu, the Office of International Programs.
The purpose of the Ambassadorial Scholarships program is to further international understanding and relations among people of different countries and cultures. Recipient scholars serve as ambassadors of good will to the people of the host country. Upon returning home, scholars share their own personal experiences that led to greater understanding of their host country.
The Laura Bush Traveling Fellowship will help fund a proposal designed by the applicant to conduct brief work in a foreign country related to the mandate of UNESCO. The fellowship is intended for a student who has not been afforded many opportunities to travel abroad. The applicant must be a U.S. citizen between 18 and 25 years of age who is a currently enrolled student. There is more than one application cycle; check the website for details.
For detailed information on these opportunities, go to http://www2.binghamton.edu/oip/study-abroad/Students/scholarships.html.
This scholarship is intended for students who will study abroad using a foreign language and who demonstrate a commitment to working towards peace.

This scholarship is for undergraduate students at Binghamton University who wish to acquire a deep understanding of another culture through study abroad but do not have the financial ability to cover the cost of the experience.
