The Boren Scholarship funds up to $20,000 in scholarship funds for undergraduates and up to $30,000 for graduate students studying less commonly taught languages in world regions critical to U.S. interests, and underrepresented in study abroad, including Africa, Asia, Central and Eastern Europe, Eurasia, Latin America, and the Middle East.
Currently, there are 3 GVSU students studying on Boren Scholarships:
Christy Bechtel, in Amman, Jordan
Dallas Davis, in Cluj, Romania
Kristen Childs, in Ljubljana, Slovenia
Boren Scholars and Fellows can receive support for study abroad, language study, internships or independent or mentored research outside of the US and Western Europe.
Boren also offers special initiatives for STEM majors, ROTC and student veterans.
Boren Scholars and Fellows represent a vital pool of highly motivated individuals who wish to work in the federal national security (broadly defined to include diplomacy, trade, STEM fields and any federal government agencies) arena. In exchange for funding, Boren recipients commit to working in the federal government for at least one year after the completion of their graduate studies or within 5 years of receiving their fellowship.
