Study Abroad Program
The OIP partnered with the Council on International Educational Exchange (CIEE) and the Benjamin A. Gilman International Scholarship programs. Established in 1947, CIEE is the oldest international exchange and study abroad program in the US which offers exchange programs, internships, scholarships, and grants to students who wish to study or intern in any part of the world. The Gilman Scholarship was established in 2000 through the US Department of State and offers up to $8,000 in scholarships to students who study abroad for a minimum of three weeks during any academic term. ECSU continues to have successes whereby students receive funding and study abroad through both organizations.
Study abroad is affordable. Financial aid, including scholarships and grants through CIEE, Gilman, and other organizations may be used to pay for study abroad.
