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. 

Methodology 

The survey will be entirely web-based 

to ease any burden on the participant. 

The survey will be distributed and 

responses received electronically using 

the survey application SurveyGizmo.
