David L. Boren Graduate Fellowship
Apply Fall term of senior year.
The David L. Boren Fellowship is administered by the National Security Education Program (NSEP). The goal of NSEP is to improve understanding of foreign cultures, strengthening U.S. economic competitiveness, and enhancing international cooperation and security. One component of NSEP is the David L. Boren Fellowship. The minimum period of support is one academic semester. The maximum level of support for a combined overseas and domestic program is $30,000 over 24 months. Actual support levels will be determined by each individual project budget and the length of the project. No fellowship, whether overseas only, domestic only, or combined, may exceed a total of two academic years.
The fellowship also requires a service agreement with a government agency or office of national security that is approximately equal to the period of time an award recipient is supported by the program, but usually not less than one year. The service agreement provides a wonderful opportunity to enhance your ability to gain federal employment in eligible US government agencies. Primary selection factors are based on academic excellence, submission of a workable proposal, intent to develop and/or advance non-native language competence, ability to adapt to different cultures, and the integration of your proposal into your academic field and career goals. Apply online or call 1-800-618-NSEP to request an application. Scholarships are also available to undergraduate students for study abroad. Contact CIPA at 404-727-2240 for study abroad information.
