In this session, we will talk about the Boren Awards Scholarships and Fellowships and the benefits that studying a less commonly taught language will have on a future job search in the federal government. We will describe who is eligible for the award and go over the benefits of being a Boren recipient when applying for jobs within the government, including but not limited to the Department of Defense. We will list the preferred countries and languages that Boren is targeting and explain how students of all levels of a language are welcomed to apply. After the short presentation, we will have a question-and-answer session during which students can ask about countries and languages they are interested in studying and different job opportunities in the federal government. By the end of the information session, the students will have a better understanding of the program and how Boren can give them a head start when looking for careers in the federal government.
