Boren Fellowship Awards for International Students

Boren Fellows have additional guidelines for self-designed research, internship, and study programs.

They are also eligible to receive funding for domestic summer language programs immediately prior to their overseas study.

The Boren Awards do not require grantees to receive academic credit at their home institution for their overseas study.

Many types of programs may be eligible to receive Boren Awards funding, including:

• Study abroad programs arranged by your home institution, a consortium of colleges and universities, or another U.S. institution
• Overseas programs with a robust language component arranged by an independent provider
• Direct enrolment in a foreign university or independent language school.
