About Boren Fellowship Awards for International StudentsÂ
Boren Fellows have additional guidelines for self-designed research, internship, and study programs. They are also eligible to receive funding for domestic summer language programs immediately prior to their overseas study.

- Study abroad programs arranged by your home institution, a consortium of colleges and universities, or another U.S. institution
- Overseas programs with a robust language component arranged by an independent provider
- Direct enrolment in a foreign university or independent language school.
