The applications for the 2014-2015 David L. Boren
Scholarships and Fellowships are now available at www.borenawards.org. Boren Awards provide
unique funding opportunities for U.S. undergraduate and graduate students to
study in Africa, Asia, Central & Eastern Europe, Eurasia, Latin America,
and the Middle East, where they can add important international and language
components to their educations.
Boren Scholars and Fellows represent a variety of
academic backgrounds, but all are interested in studying less commonly taught
languages, including but not limited to Arabic, Chinese, Korean, Portuguese,
Russian, and Swahili. As part of the African Languages Initiative, Boren Award
applicants have the opportunity to further their study of Akan/Twi, Hausa,
Portuguese, Swahili, Wolof, Yoruba, or Zulu. For a complete list of languages,
visit our website.
Undergraduate students can receive up to $20,000 for an
academic year's study abroad and graduate students up to $30,000 for language
study and international research. In exchange for funding, recipients commit to
working in the federal government for a minimum of one year.
