Boren Scholars and Fellows represent a variety of
academic backgrounds, but all are interested in studying less commonly taught
languages, including but not limited to Arabic, Chinese, Korean, Portuguese,
Russian, and Swahili. As part of the African Languages Initiative, Boren Award

Portuguese, Swahili, Wolof, Yoruba, or Zulu. For a complete list of languages,

Undergraduate students can receive up to $20,000 for an
