NSEP Boren
Undergraduate Fellowship Program provides US undergraduate students with
financial support to pursue study abroad of countries, languages, and fields
deemed critical to U.S. national security.
Eligibility
- US citizens
- matriculated as a freshman/sophomore/junior/senior in a regionally accredited
US post-secondary institution.
- all recipients are required to seek employment with a federal agency/office
involved in national security affairs or a field of higher education.
Description
NSEP was designed
to provide U.S. undergraduates with the resources and encouragement they need to
acquire skills and experience in countries and areas of the world critical to
the future security of our nation. As a student of another culture and language
you will begin to acquire the international competence you need to communicate
effectively across borders, understand other perspectives and analyze
increasingly fluid economic and political realities.
Award
The amount of an NSEP Boren scholarship award is based on financial need, as
certified by your institution's financial aid office. The amount will vary from
the cost of participation in a proposed study abroad program, to partial
support. The maximum scholarship award for any one academic term in a study
abroad program will be about $10,000 or $20,000 for an academic year. The
minimum award will be $2,500 for summer, $4,000 for one semester or $6,000 for
an academic year.
For students participating in individually-arranged programs, the amount of the
award will be based on host country cost of living, tuition (if any), travel,
books, settling-in costs, and appropriate insurance. These costs will be
determined by IIE/NSEP. When you select your study abroad program, you should be
realistic about your ability to fund part of your program should you receive an
award which does not cover full program expenses.
