This descriptive evaluation will
investigate the outcomes of study abroad on recipients of the
Benjamin A. Gilman International Scholarship. The Gilman
Scholarship offers grants for U.S. citizen undergraduate students
of limited financial means to pursue academic study abroad. This
survey will review the experiences of grant recipients while
abroad; probe ways in which they shared what they learned with
family, peers, and other community members upon returning to the
United States; and investigate whether the international experience
factored into their subsequent educational and professional
choices. This information collection will be conducted once, and
will be comprised of one survey sent to all grant recipients who
studied abroad during the nine-year period spanning the 2002/2003
and 2010/2011 academic years.
