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."
