In addition to
administering the NSEP
Boren Undergraduate
Scholarships, for the
first time this year
IIE is also
administering the NSEP
Boren Graduate
Fellowships and
National Flagship
Language Program (NFLP).
NSEP was designed to
provide Americans with
the resources and
encouragement they need
to acquire skills and
experiences in areas of
the world critical to
the future security of
our nation, in exchange
for a commitment to
seek work in the
federal government. The
NSEP Boren Graduate
Fellowships encourage
U.S. graduate students
to add an important
language component to
their educations, while
NFLP offers advanced
language training in
Arabic, Korean,
Mandarin, Persian, or
Russian.
NSEP Boren Fellowships support students pursuing the study of languages, cultures, and world regions that are critical to U.S. interests. The fellowships are intended to provide or add to the international component of U.S. graduate students' educations. NSEP Boren Fellowships provides support for overseas study, domestic study, or a combination of both. Although study outside the United States is not required, successful applications generally include a significant overseas component.
The National Flagship Language Program was developed to address the urgent and growing need for Americans with professional levels of competency in languages critical to national security. NFLP is designed to train participants to reach professional working proficiency in an aforementioned target language, as measured by the federal Interagency Language Roundtable (ILR) level 3 and/or the American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages (ACTFL) superior level.
