The Boren
Scholarship provides up to $20,000 to
U.S. undergraduate students to study abroad in areas of the
world that are critical to U.S. interests and
under represented in study abroad, including Africa, Asia, Central & Eastern
Europe, Eurasia, Latin America, and the Middle East (the Boren may not be used
to fund study in Western Europe, Canada, Australia, or New Zealand). The Boren
Awards gives preference to those who demonstrate a commitment to government
service, wish to study a language in a “non-Western” country (preferred
languages and countries can be found on their website at www.borenawards.org) and
plan to study abroad for a semester or longer. STEM major students are eligible
to apply for a Boren if their summer study abroad program is at least 8 weeks
in length. Boren Scholars are obligated to work for the federal
government in some capacity for one year after graduation, though this service
requirement can be temporarily deferred for graduate school. Here is a direct link to Boren’s latest YouTube Informational
Videos!
