Boren Scholarship and Fellowship

Boren Scholarships (undergraduates) and Fellowships (graduates) provide funding opportunities for U.S. undergraduate and graduate students to add an important international and language component to their educations. The focus is on geographic areas, languages, and fields of study that are critical to U.S. interests and underrepresented in study (Western Europe, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand are excluded). Applicants must show how their study abroad program, as well as their future academic and career goals, will contribute to U.S. national security, broadly defined (including the traditional concerns of protecting and promoting American well-being, as well as sustainable development, environmental degradation, global disease and hunger, population growth and migration, and economic competitiveness). Scholarship requires university evaluation.
