Posted by Preetham Ale for Haenicke Institute for Global Education

Introduction

The Boren Awards are merit-based scholarships and fellowships funded by the National Security Education Program (NSEP) that encourage U.S. undergraduate and graduate students to study in areas of the world critical to U.S. national security. These awards prioritize the study of languages and cultures that are underrepresented in study abroad and are deemed important for national security.
