Due to changing state department levels is there flexibility in allowing students to defer their scholarship to a later timeframe?

If their destination country and back up destination countries do not drop to a level 1 or 2, can the student apply their scholarship to a future term?

Hi Briana! Yes, Gilman recipients can defer their award to a later term or use the Gilman Scholarship toward a virtual program. Please see the Gilman Updates & FAQ's on COVID-19 page for more information: https://www.gilmanscholarship.org/applicants/gilman-updates-faqs/

Hello! Do you anticipate recipients in the current application cycle having the option to defer their funding (similar to the past two award cycles) if their program is ultimately canceled if there isn’t a good-fit “backup plan” program available to them?

Hi Lindsey! Yes, Gilman recipients from the March 2021 deadline cycle will have the option to defer their award or change to a different program that starts between May 1, 2021 - Apr. 30, 2022. I hope this helps!
