$20,000 to study abroad--no lie--

In past we've had students get this money to study in places far flung, including Egypt

The Institute of International Education is pleased to announce the opening of the 2010-11 academic year competition for the National Security Education Program David L. Boren Scholarships and Fellowships.

Boren Awards provide unique funding opportunities for U.S. undergraduate and graduate students to become more proficient in the cultures and languages of world regions critical to the future security of our nation, such as in Africa, Asia, Central & Eastern Europe, Eurasia, Latin America, and the Middle East.

Boren Scholarships, for undergraduate students, provide up to $20,000 for up to an academic year's study abroad.

Deadline: February 10, 2010

Boren Fellowships, for graduate students, provide up to $30,000 for language study and international research, and can include both overseas and domestic funding.

Deadline: January 28, 2010

Applications and detailed information on the Boren Scholarships and Fellowships are now available at www.borenawards.org. If you have any questions or comments please contact us at boren@iie.org or 1-800-618-NSEP.
