David L. Boren Awards for International Study

Boren Fellows may study abroad in Africa, Asia, Central & Eastern Europe, Eurasia, Latin America, and the Middle East.  Students may apply to study in any country outside of the United States, Western Europe, Canada, Australia, or New Zealand.  Multi-country comparative studies must be well justified.

Note: Boren Fellows may only study in a country with a U.S. State Department travel warning if they are willing to sign a waiver.  In certain countries, further restrictions may apply, including possible outright prohibition on using the Boren Fellowship in a particular country. In such cases, IIE will work with the Fellow to find an alternate program. Information about travel warnings is available on the State Department website.
