Reach the World is proud to partner with the Benjamin A. Gilman International Scholarship Program. The Gilman Program, sponsored by the U.S. Department of State, Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs and administered by the Institute of International Education (IIE), offers grants to U.S. undergraduate students with limited financial means to pursue academic studies abroad.  Most of Reach the World's volunteer travel correspondents come to RTW from the Gilman Program.
