Abstract of Proposed Collection
This request for a new information
collection will allow ECA/P/V to
conduct a survey to provide data not
currently available in order to review
the experiences of recipients of the
Benjamin A. Gilman International
Scholarship grant while they were
abroad; study the ways in which they
shared what they learned with family,
peers, and other community members
upon returning to the United States; and
investigate whether the international
experience factored into their
subsequent educational and
professional choices. This study is
authorized by the Mutual Educational
and Cultural Exchange Act of 1961, as
amended (also known as the FulbrightHays Act) (22 U.S.C. 2451 et seq.). The
survey will be sent electronically to all
grant recipients who studied abroad
during the nine-year period spanning
the 2002/2003 and 2010/2011 academic
years. Data gathered will enable analysis
that can potentially be used to design
new programs, improve existing
programs, and to inform ongoing and
future activities.
