NSEP/Boren Scholarship

The NSEP/Boren Scholarship provides up to $20,000 for as much as one year of study abroad. Students must study languages critical to U.S. interests, including Arabic, Chinese, Russian, Turkish and most languages spoken in Africa, Asia, Central and Eastern Europe, Eurasia and the Middle East. NSEP/Boren Scholarship recipients are required to work for the federal government for one year either before or after completing graduate school. Scholars are encouraged to find jobs in the federal government where they can continue to use and build their language skills. Applicants must be U.S. citizens and have an interest in working for the government in some capacity related to national security interests, which can be broadly defined.
