 | Did you know that up to $5,000 may be available to you to study abroad somewhere in the world next fall or spring through the Benjamin A. Gilman International Scholarship? |
If you are Pell eligible and qualify based on the criteria stated below, you may spend a semester in Seville, Spain at our BCC program at the International College of Seville, or in Bangalore, India at the International Center for Management and India Studies. You could go to Singapore and study at the Center for American Education or to Guayaquil, Ecuador and earn college credits at Brookdale College of Ecuador. All of these options are locations where students may register and earn BCC credits while studying for a semester overseas. Even if you don’t qualify for the Gilman Scholarship, you may still enroll at these locations as a BCC student without having to transfer credits into the BCC system – you will be enrolling at a BCC overseas campus!
