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. You are also welcome to forward the interest form to colleagues who are interested in serving.

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, you must be a registered and verified advisor in the Gilman Advisor Portal. We will send out an open call for panelists by email in the fall and spring.

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.
