Selection Panels

• Selection panels are held virtually through GoToMeeting. Some panels may be held in-person at the offices of the Institute of International Education. Selection panels occur after every application cycle deadline.
• Specified dates are assigned according to the needs of the program and your schedule in the survey we send out by email.
• Availability is limited. We try to diversify the institutions on our panels and generally can only have one representative from an institution at a time. 
• If you are not selected to serve during a cycle, we hope you will be able to join us in the future. If you have colleagues who are interested in serving, you are welcome to forward the survey link.

How to Become a Panelist

If you are interested in serving as a selection panelist for the upcoming cycle, or would like to be considered for the future, please complete the Selection Panel Interest form in the Outreach tab of your Gilman advisor account.

After you fill out the interest form on the Gilman Advisor Portal and if you are invited to be a selection panelist, you will receive another form by email with instructions to confirm your availability.

Benefits of Being a Panelist

After Your Panel

• Once selection panels are finished, the Gilman program team will review financial need, recommendations, and overall Gilman budget. 
• The U.S. Department of State will then review recommended applicants and approve awards. 
• The Gilman program team will notify applicants of their application status via e-mail.
