The National Security Education Program (NSEP) was established by the National Security Education Act of 1991, which created resources to provide undergraduate scholarships, graduate fellowships, and institutional grants. David L. Boren is the principal author of the legislation that created the National Security Education Program and the Boren Awards. In arguing in the U.S. Senate for passage of the NSEP, Boren expressed his view that the U.S. needed a large increase in experts in the languages and cultures of nations which were underrepresented in the number of U.S. students studying there. With changes in the world, Boren felt that the U.S. would increasingly work through partnerships with other countries whose needs and perspectives needed to be more fully understood.

Boren Scholars and Fellows study a wide range of critical languages, including Arabic, Chinese, Portuguese, and Swahili. Boren Awards are available to students of all proficiency levels who are committed to enhancing their skills. Boren Scholars and Fellows from diverse fields of study immerse themselves in the cultures in world regions underrepresented in study abroad, including Africa, Asia, Eurasia, Latin America, and the Middle East. Boren Awards alumni are committed to public service, working in positions critical to U.S. national security throughout the Federal Government, including the Departments of State, Defense, and Homeland Security, and USAID.

Students may apply to study abroad in Africa, Asia, Central & Eastern Europe, Eurasia, Latin America, and the Middle East. Students cannot apply to Western Europe, Canada, Australia, or New Zealand. Please see the Boren Awards list of preferred countries and preferred areas of study. Preference will be given to students who plan to study abroad long term (25-52 weeks). All Boren Awards-funded programs must include language study as a core element for the duration of the grant. The Boren Fellowship covers expenses associated with overseas study including tuition, living expenses, books, supplies, equipment, travel expenses, and insurance.

Note: All Boren Awardees must remain matriculated, degree-seeking, undergraduate students at a regionally accredited U.S. post-secondary institution for the duration of the Boren Award funded study abroad program.

Types of Awards:

Boren Scholarships
Fund study abroad by U.S. undergraduate students in world regions critical to U.S. interests. Students may apply for a Regional Flagship Language Initiative, or they may select/design their own study abroad program.

Maximum Award Amounts:
8-11 weeks: $8,000 for a summer program (STEM majors only)
12-24 weeks: $10,000
24-52 weeks: $20,000

Boren Fellowships
Fund research and language study by U.S. graduate students in world regions critical to U.S. interests. Students may apply for a Regional Flagship Language Initiative, or they may design their own research proposal and language study plan.

Maximum Awards Amounts:
12-24 weeks: $12,000
25-26 weeks: $20,000

Proposed programs of two or more semesters are strongly encouraged for both the Scholarship and Fellowship Awards. Preference will be given to Boren Awards applicants proposing overseas programs of at least 25 weeks’ duration. The minimum duration of an eligible program is 12 weeks for most Boren Awards applicants. (A special exception to this rule exists for undergraduate STEM majors, who may propose summer programs of 8 weeks or longer).

Boren Awards give preference to programs based on their duration, focus on intensive study of a preferred language in a preferred country, and the applicant’s field of study. For more information on eligibility, preferred countries, and preferred field of study, please the detailed requirements on the Boren Awards website: https://borenawards.org/eligible-programs.

Next Steps:
Email UA’s Boren Campus Representative:

Check out the official Boren website
Attend a Boren Awards Information session on campus

To begin, please email the UA Boren Campus Representative: Dr. Tayler Kent at tmkent@ua.edu

Note: The Boren Awards do not require campus certification; all complete, eligible applications submitted by the national deadline will receive full consideration. However, it is strongly recommendedthat students work closely with the Boren Campus Representative and participate in the on-campus interview and application process. The UA on-campus interview will give the national selection committee valuable insight into your candidacy for the Boren Award, and is a chance for you to articulate your study goals in person to the committee.

The Online Application:
Create an account on Boren’s online application portal (2021 application cycle begins in mid-August), which can be found on their webpage. You will submit all of your application materials through this portal.

The Campus Deadline: The campus deadline is a FINAL deadline. It is Friday, January 8, 2021. All application materials must be submitted in the on-line application system by the campus deadline. For the campus deadline, please do the following:

1. Proofread your online application
2. Print out your online application
3. Submit your online application
4. Once you have submitted, you may sign up for an interview time slot (more details will be sent to you via email). You will not be assigned an interview time until your application is submitted. The application must be submitted by the campus deadline in order for an interview to be scheduled for you.

Please make sure you remind your recommenders that their letters are due by the campus deadline. Boren requires that recommendation letters be submitted online. Please make sure you have entered your recommenders’ information in the online application system correctly. This will generate an email to them with a username and password, which allows them to upload their letters. Recommenders do not submit hard copies.

It is your responsibility to make sure that all of your letters of reference and foreign language evaluation(s) are uploaded by the campus deadline. Please do not call or email to ask about the completeness of your application. You can check on the Boren application system to see if letters of recommendation and language evaluations have been uploaded and submitted.

What is the purpose of the campus interview?
The purpose of the campus interview is to provide additional information about your candidacy to the selection committee. The interviews are your chance to articulate, in person, your reasons for wanting to study or research abroad. Each applicant will be interviewed individually for about 30 minutes by a panel of UA faculty and staff. Panelists may question students on contacts they have made overseas, academic preparation for the study, knowledge of the host country, and language training.

How does the panel evaluate applicants?
The panel’s rating of your application is based on an evaluation of your complete application and the campus interview. The panel will assess the content and feasibility of your study abroad plans, your research proposal (if applicable), your language preparation, your plans for fulfilling the service requirement, your knowledge of the host country, etc., and then complete a Campus Evaluation Form. The panel will rate your candidacy. The campus interview is NOT a mechanism for disqualifying applicants, but it is a mechanism for rating—not ranking—the applicants. Your rating will not be disclosed to you at any time, nor will you be given feedback regarding the confidential Campus Committee Evaluation Form.

PLEASE NOTE: No one is eliminated from the competition at the campus level. All applications will be submitted, regardless of the rating given by the campus committee.

What is the makeup of the panel?
You will be interviewed by UA faculty and staff members who may or may not be in your area of study. Some may have language expertise or cultural knowledge from your proposed country of study. Committee members have often had years of experience in working with Boren and other competitive study abroad applications, and they are very aware of what makes a good application. In addition, your application at the national level will not only be read by people specifically in your academic field, but by others who have knowledge of the country or area where you wish to go.

Please be aware that the campus interview is meant to support your application and is not the deciding factor in your application. The interview and evaluation is meant to give the national selection committee as much information to work with as possible, and is, thus, very important.

What if I will be away from campus during the spring semester?
Most students who apply for the Boren at The University of Alabama have a campus interview in person, but we can accommodate an interview over Skype, Facetime, or Zoom if an applicant is out of town.

The National Selection Process
Applications will be evaluated according the official selection criteria. The panels consist of faculty members and administrators representing diverse fields of study from colleges and universities from across the United States. The regional panels will make initial recommendations, and the national nominating panel will designate scholarship finalists to the National Security Education Program office.

You will receive notification regarding your application acceptance some any time between mid-March to late April (the notification date can vary from year to year). Please contact your Boren Campus Representative when you receive your official notification, as we are often not informed until a later date.

• Make this scholarship application a priority and manage your time well!
• Watch a Boren Awards Webinar. Here you will find general information about the awards, as well as specific, useful tips for crafting a competitive application.
• Get everything in on time. Supporting materials can be submitted late, but you should make every effort to have a completed application by the campus deadline. Incomplete applications will reflect poorly on you at the campus and national levels.
• Please contact your campus representative, Dr. Tayler Kent (tmkent@ua.edu) with any questions you have.

Good luck!
