Subject: National Security Education Program Grad International Fellowships
Information as of November 19, 2001
**********************************************************************
SCOPE: The National Security Education Program (NSEP) Boren Graduate
Fellowships enable U.S. graduate students to pursue specialization in
area and language study, or to add an important international
dimension to their education.
DEADLINE: The deadline has been updated to February 1 from the
previous deadline of February 15.
FUNDS: NSEP Fellowship awards are made for a minimum of one and a
maximum of six academic semesters (two years). Support for language or
area studies coursework at the applicant's home university is $2,000
per semester. Overseas study offers up to $10,000 per semester for up
to two semesters. The maximum level of support for a combined overseas
and domestic program is $28,000.
ELIGIBILITY: Applicants must be U.S. citizens enrolled in or applying
to graduate programs in accredited colleges and universities located
in the U.S. All applications must include study of a modern language
other than English. Award recipients incur a requirement to work for
an agency or office of the federal government involved in national
security affairs or in the field of higher education in an area of
study for which the fellowship was awarded, in that order of
precedence.
AREAS: NSEP Fellowships support students studying languages, cultures,
and world regions that are critical to U.S. national security, but
which are less frequently studied by U.S. graduate students, i.e.,
areas of the world other than Western Europe, Canada, Australia, and
New Zealand. Fellowships are intended to support graduate students who
will pursue the study of languages and cultures deemed critical to
U.S. national security, and who would consider the possibility of
federal government service. Students already enrolled in
internationally oriented programs are encouraged to intensify their
study of areas, languages, and cultures through overseas study and
limited domestic tuition support. Applicants design their own programs
and may combine domestic language and cultural study with study
overseas.
