Boren Awards provide a unique funding opportunity for U.S. students to study
world regions critical to U.S. interests (including Africa, Asia, Central &
Eastern Europe, Eurasia, Latin America, and the Middle East). The countries
of Western Europe, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand are excluded.  The
Boren Scholarships provide up to $20,000 for undergraduate students to study
in countries that are generally underrepresented in study abroad. The Boren
Fellowships provide graduate students up to $30,000 to add an important
international and language component to their graduate studies. The Language
Flagship Fellowships provide funding for a Master's degree in the Arabic,
Chinese, Korean, or Persian languages.
