2010 - 2011 Boren Award Competition Results

Awards for the 2010-2011 Boren Scholarship and Fellowship competitions were made in May.

This year, 925 undergraduate students applied for the Boren Scholarship and 138 were awarded, while 519 graduate students applied for the Boren Fellowship and 99 were awarded.

Campus Representative Survey Results

Thank you to all campus representatives who responded to our survey in April. We received many great suggestions and helpful comments. In addition, we learned that there are some misconceptions and misunderstandings about the Boren program. In the future, we will use this newsletter to eliminate confusion on these matters and address some Boren “myths.”
