David L. Boren Awards for International Study

Boren Scholarship Application Instructions - Applicant Experience Abroad

  • Type of Experience Abroad:
    In most cases, an organized study abroad program would fall under months studied, a vacation would fall under months traveled, and an extended stay, such as a military posting, would fall under months lived. Therefore, a month of travel following a month-long study program would NOT total two months lived.

  • Extensive Experience Abroad:
    If you have lived, traveled, or studied in more than three countries, please list the countries in which you have spent the most time, and those that may be relevant to your study abroad proposal. You are encouraged to give more in-depth information about the nature of your time spent in these or other countries in your statement of purpose.
