David L. Boren Scholarship

Campus deadline: January 6, 2024  (undergraduate students)

National deadline: late January** (graduate students)

**Check Boren website for most updated deadlines

Boren Scholarships (undergraduate) and Fellowships (graduate) provide unique funding opportunities for U.S. undergraduate and graduate students to add an international and language component to their education. Boren Awards provide the resources to acquire skills and experiences in areas of the world critical to the future security of our nation.

Boren Scholarships (for undergraduate students) promote long-term linguistic and cultural immersion; therefore study abroad proposals for two or more semesters are strongly encouraged. If full-year opportunities in the same program are unavailable, students may submit two separate but related applications for study in two different programs. Summer-only programs are limited to science, technology, engineering, and mathematics students. Applications for summer-only programs will be considered if the program is eight weeks or more.
