The Boren Awards

Boren Awardees learn critical languages through long-term (typically, 25+ weeks) study abroad experiences and represent a variety of academic and professional disciplines. The award is open to continuing students of all academic levels, with undergraduate awardees being termed Boren Scholars and graduate student awardees being termed Boren Fellows.

Applicants identify how their study abroad programs or overseas projects, as well as their future academic and career goals, will contribute to U.S. national security, recognizing the scope of national security includes not only the traditional concerns of protecting and promoting American well-being, but also the challenges of a global society, including sustainable development, environmental degradation, global disease and hunger, population growth and migration, and economic competitiveness.

The Fulbright U.S. Student Program

The Fulbright U.S. Student Program was created in the aftermath of World War II as a means of fostering mutual understanding between nations and cultures. Over 75 years later, nearly 140 countries conduct cultural exchange with the U.S. through this prestigious program.

The U.S. Student Program has three main grant types:

English teaching
Earning a graduate degree
Forming an independent research project

All Fulbright grants cover travel and a living stipend, though additional grant offerings are on a grant-by-grant basis. Applicant qualifications (degree level, any knowledge of host language, etc.) are also on a grant-by-grant basis.

Applicants must meet the campus deadline in order to be scheduled for a feedback session with the campus committee. This campus committee is made up of UF faculty with Fulbright experience, ideally in the applicant's host country or nearby country. Applicants will regain access to their applications after the feedback session, allowing them to revise their applications based on feedback from the campus committee.
