Events & Calendars Info Session: Critical Language Study: Boren Scholarships and Fellowships

Boren Awards are grants given to U.S. undergraduate and graduate students interested in "less commonly taught" languages, geographic areas and fields of study. Awards are generous: up to $10,000 for a semester and up to $20,000 for an academic year. Summer recipients must be from STEM fields and will receive $8,000 (although they do not need to attend a STEM-focused program). All recipients are required to seek employment with a federal agency or office involved in national security affairs but may be allowed to fulfill their service through work in higher education if a position is not available in government. Students are selected based on merit, not need, and must be U.S. citizens, and the application deadlines are in late January.

Lisa Mayorga will give an information session and answer questions students may have. More information is online at http://www.borenawards.org/.
