The Boren Awards Program offers funding for undergraduate and graduate students to study non-traditional languages in non-traditional study abroad destinations. Students can earn between $8,000-$20,000 to fund their program, depending on the program length and cost. Applicants should have an interest in working in government or the non-profit sector; awardees will be required to work in a federal government agency for one year after they graduate. The Boren Awards program is sponsored by the U.S. Department of State and is open to U.S. students enrolled in all degree programs.
