| Description | Congress created the NSEP and the Boren Scholarships in 1991 to provide undergraduates with the resources and support to acquire skills and experience in areas of the world critical to the security of our nation. As a student of another culture and language, you will begin to acquire the international competence you need to communicate effectively across borders, understand other perspectives and analyze increasingly fluid economic and political realities. Boren undergraduate scholars spend a summer, semester or year abroad in non-English speaking countries outside Western Europe, learning less commonly taught languages and studying important cultures. |
