Reminder: Boren Fellowships Available for Study Abroad

If you’re applying for the Boren Awards, you must complete a full draft of your Boren application materials to be reviewed by the Office of National Scholarships and Fellowships by January 12.

The Boren Awards support undergraduate and graduate students with scholarships of up to $30,000 for study abroad in world regions underrepresented in study abroad, including Africa, Asia, Central and Eastern Europe, Eurasia, Latin America, and the Middle East. (Western Europe, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand are excluded.) The current Boren application cycle will fund study abroad plans that fall between 6/1/2018 – 6/1/2019.

UT Boren applicants are strongly encouraged to work through the Office of National Scholarships & Fellowships (ONSF).

Deadlines to apply for the Boren are as follows:

  • December 4: UT Campus Pre-Application Deadline. This is a brief internal interest form to get students started with the application process.
  • January 12: UT Campus Deadline. Applicants must complete a full draft of their Boren application materials, which will be reviewed by ONSF.
  • January 30: Boren Fellowship (for graduate students) final national deadline, including letters of recommendation.

ONSF is available to assist Boren applicants throughout the process and can be reached at onsf@utk.edu.
