Join us for an introduction to Boren and Critical Language Scholarships to fund language study abroad. Scholarships like the Boren and CLS provide funding to U.S. citizen students at varying levels of proficiency to study languages considered to be "critical" to U.S. interests.
These sessions will provide an overview of the scholarships and insights on how to develop competitive applications. We encourage first-generation students, students of color, and students who identify as underrepresented within the university to attend.
