Boren Scholars
The prestigious David L. Boren Scholarship from the National Security Exchange Program supports America’s future leaders—undergraduate and graduate students committed to long-term, overseas immersive language study and to public service. Boren Scholars study the languages and cultures most critical to our nation’s security. In exchange, they agree to utilize those skills within the government by seeking and securing federal employment for at least one year. Boren Scholars come from diverse backgrounds and perspectives, and are equipped with the intellectual curiosity and academic training to solve our nation’s complex, global problems. They are the public sector’s next generation of influencers and innovators.
