Subject: Apply now! Boren Awards Funding for Language Study & Research Abroad

Dear advisors,

Please let undergraduate and graduate students know that the application for the 2019-2020 Boren Awards is now open at https://borenawards.org/.

Boren Awards fund U.S. undergraduate and graduate language study and research abroad in world regions critical to U.S. national interests, including Africa, Asia, Central & Eastern Europe, Eurasia, Latin America, and the Middle East. Boren Awards also include special initiatives for study in sub-Saharan Africa, South Asia, and Indonesia. See the attached handouts for information on the Boren Awards and these special regional initiatives. Additional resources, including an annotated PowerPoint presentation, can be found at borenawards.org/resources<https://borenawards.org/resources>.

The Boren Scholarships provide up to $20,000 for undergraduate students for language-focused study abroad.

The Boren Fellowships provide up to $30,000 for graduate students to fund language study, graduate-level research, and academic internships abroad.

We strongly recommend that any students interested in applying start by:
