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/

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
