Boren National Security Education Scholarship & Graduate Fellowship
"I will be studying Arabic in Amman, Jordan, for the spring 2023 semester. While there, I will be participating in an intensive Arabic language program while completing research for my Honors Thesis, which focuses on international refugee law and refugee populations in Jordan. My studies with the Boren Award will allow me to develop linguistic and cultural knowledge that is essential to my future career as a lawyer. In addition, Boren will match me with an employment opportunity immediately upon graduating law school, which will greatly help me in pursuing my dream career."

Anna will use the DAAD Scholarship to fund her M.S. Global Food, Nutrition, and Health, University of Bayreuth, Germany

Fulbright Scholarship
FULBRIGHT ALTERNATE
Fulbright will fund me to pursue a graduate degree in Genomics and Health to better understand the public and private initiatives which are embedding genomics into routine clinical practice in the Australian Healthcare system. This experience will prepare me well to contribute to genomic expertise in health and policy settings as part of an effort to build a more equitable and inclusive healthcare system in the U.S.
FULBRIGHT ALTERNATE
“I am incredibly honored to be awarded with a Fulbright grant to Taiwan. Gaining the opportunity to teach others will not only be undeniably rewarding, but will also foster my own curiosity and growth as a teacher, learner, and individual. This grant will broaden my perspectives on how I view culture and education, which is extremely valuable in a world where populations are diverse and constant learning and understanding is of paramount importance.”
“As an advocate for both mental health and social justice for marginalized groups, I am elated to go to Mexico where I will have the opportunity to expand my knowledge on these issues. My goal is to create spaces to speak openly about mental health and self-care, and also investigate the experiences and history of the Afro-Mexican population who’s stories have long been neglected. My love for the Spanish language has allowed me to make lasting and impactful relationships, and I can’t wait to make new connections and learn more about the diaspora.”
