Boren Scholarship

The Boren Scholarship, provided by the Defense Language and National Security Education Office, supports undergraduate students who want to study languages through immersive overseas programs. The scholarship is open to community college students, transfer students, and those enrolled in The Language Flagship programs. It is specifically designed for students who wish to study in an international environment rather than through online courses. To apply, students should work with their campus representative or study abroad office. Because this program is funded by a federal defense office, applicants should check how the award coordinates with federal financial aid by completing the FAFSA. This scholarship helps students who might otherwise lack the financial resources to study abroad.
