OBJECTIVES:  The program focuses on geographic areas, languages,
and fields of study deemed critical to U.S. national security. It
draws on a broad definition of national security, recognizing that the
scope of national security has expanded to include not only the
traditional concerns of protecting and promoting American well-being,
but also the challenges of global society, including: sustainable
development, environmental degradation, global disease and hunger,
population growth and migration, and economic competitiveness. All
applicants must demonstrate how their study programs and future goals
are connected to this broad understanding of national
security..  Fellowships are awarded with preference for
countries, languages, and fields of study  critical to U.S. national
security. Preference is also given to students who will study abroad
for longer periods of time, and who are highly motivated by the
opportunity to work in the federal government. As the sponsor cannot
list all countries, languages, and fields that are critical to U.S.
national security, it is  interested in applications that fall outside
the preferences, if the candidate can make a compelling case that such
study can contribute significantly to U.S. national security and the
goals of the program.

ELIGIBILITY
Applicant is eligible if: A U.S. citizen at the time of
application; Either enrolled in or applying to a graduate degree
program at an accredited U.S. college or university located within the
United States. To receive the award, applicant must provide evidence
of admission and enrollment in such a program. Boren Fellows must
remain enrolled in their graduate programs for the duration of the
fellowship.  

FUNDING
Boren Fellowships provide support for overseas or domestic  study,
or a combination of both. The maximum level of support for a combined
overseas and domestic program is $30,000 over 24 months. (flb)
