Dear students,
See below for a fellowship opportunity for study of languages abroad. They are having information sessions this week (scroll all the way  They say you need to be committed to a career in public service, which they define broadly (think not only stuff like CIA, state department, but also CDC, et cetera).
Take care,

Subject: Boren Fellowship for Study of Critical Language Abroad

Dear Graduate Directors,
Greetings from The Graduate School!  As the Fellowships Advisor, I work with students applying to nationally competitive fellowships.  We have someone from Boren visiting on Wednesday (and also doing a virtual session in November) to talk about this study abroad scholarship which funds students to go abroad to study a critical language with the option to also conduct research.  Students must be committed to a career in public service and should be prepared to make a connection between their field of study and US national security- defined broadly to include both traditional areas (diplomacy, defense, intelligence) and also any topic addressing challenges facing global society (Public Health, Cybersecurity, Food Security, Economics, Transportation, Energy, Migration, etc).

I hope you might help me spread the word to your students.  Here’s the website, and more details are in the email below: https://www.borenawards.org/<https://nam11.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.borenawards.org%2F&data=04%7C01%7Csblack%40gsu.edu%7C0b4a4bf8417a4ada981e08d9925b417f%7C515ad73d8d5e4169895c9789dc742a70%7C0%7C0%7C637701742926629886%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C1000&sdata=%2BtTjPe7SnoLSDLWtcu%2F5CUj4ugO7fw2pQAN1oHbsO98%3D&reserved=0>
You and your students are very welcome to reach out to me with any questions.  Interested students are strongly encouraged to work with me on their applications.
Thank you,
Katrina
