The Boren Scholarship
 
The Boren Scholarship is aimed at undergraduates (US citizens) who want to study abroad for one or two semesters (preferred) in 2018--2019 in non-traditional regions and countries, and who are interested in learning the languages of those areas. Eligible regions include Africa, South Asia, East and Southeast Asia, Eastern Europe and former Soviet Republics, Latin America, and the Middle East. 

The Boren Scholarship is a U.S. government-funded award that seeks applicants who have a strong interest in future Government service; and the award carries a one-year service expectation. Maryland has ranked # 1 in the nation in Boren Scholarships awarded for the past 5 years!!! You can learn more about the Boren Scholarship program here:
