This page is a section-by-section overview of the application for the undergraduate Boren Scholarships. Program design and strong essays are critical to a successful application, so be sure to review the sections on Selecting an Eligible Study Abroad Program and writing the Essays.
Applicants should notify their Boren Awards campus representative as early as possible in the application process. They have a wealth of experience advising applicants and assist in crafting a strong application. They may also have set on-campus deadlines -- please respect these, as they have been set to provide you with feedback ahead of the national deadline.
Applicants not supported by a campus representative may still apply without penalty. Contact the Boren Awards team at 1-800-618-NSEP (6737) or boren@iie.org for any questions not answered on this website.
Application System Tips
The Boren Scholarships application includes twelve sections, as well as a section at the end to review and submit the application.
To view the entire application in order, click "continue" through the buttons at the bottom of each page.
You may only use the left navigation to skip from section to section once you have saved at least one field in a particular section. The application saves automatically. You can always change your response later, as long as you have not submitted your application.
