Boren Fellowship Information Session

Boren Fellowships are available to GW graduate students of all proficiency levels who are committed to enhancing their skills in a critical language and immerse themselves in the cultures in world regions underrepresented in study abroad. Boren Awards alumni are committed to public service, working in positions critical to U.S. national security throughout the Federal Government, including the Departments of State, Defense, and Homeland Security, and USAID.

Boren Fellows have additional options 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.

All applicants must be:

U.S. citizens at the time of the national application deadline.
Matriculated for the duration of their Boren Fellowship in a GW graduate degree program.
Planning an overseas program in a country outside of Western Europe, Canada, Australia, or New Zealand.
Planning to study in a country of which they are not a citizen.
Matriculated for the duration of their Boren Awards-funded program in an undergraduate or graduate degree program located within the United States and accredited by a body recognized by the U.S. Department of Education.

The information session will break down the eligibility requirements of the Fellowship for graduate students, as well as the application process. (If you are an undergraduate student interested in the Boren Scholarship please email: fellcentgwu [dot] edu (fellcent[at]gwu[dot]edu).)
