Marymount Manhattan College students with a GPA of 3.3 or higher are invited to apply for external student scholarships. The Boren Scholarship funds one year of study abroad in a country in which English is not the first language or not widely spoken; it also provides opportunities for intensive foreign language immersion in the US. The Fulbright English Teaching Assistant program places students in classrooms outside of the US, where they assist local teachers and serve as cultural ambassadors. Marshall Scholarships, for which students must have a GPA of 3.7 or higher, fund two years of graduate study at UK universities. Gilman scholarships fund study abroad for Pell Grant recipients. All candidates must be U.S. citizens to apply for these four grants.
This website provides information on Boren, Fulbright, Marshall, and Gilman awards. The material has been largely derived from the respective websites of these awards; it is by no means complete. See the websites below and recipients’ blogs for additional information that will help you as you consider applying or as you write your application.
The External Student Scholarships program is run by Adrienne Baxter Bell, Ph.D. , Professor of Art History and Director, College Honors Program. All students who apply for one of these four scholarships will work closely with Prof. Bell throughout the application process. Each applicant must meet the Campus Deadline for her award. For information on Campus Deadlines, see the Timeline below. To reach Prof. Bell, email abell@mmm.edu.
