Are you interested in learning a critical language? Pursuing a career in federal service? Completing research or an internship aboard?

You may be interested in the Boren Awards Program! Boren Scholars (undergraduate students) and Boren Fellows (graduate students) receive up to $30,000 to pursue language study, research or internships abroad. Boren Awards fund study in Africa, Asia, Central & Eastern Europe, Latin America, and the Middle East.
