The National Security Education Program (NSEP) provides a unique funding
opportunity for U.S. students to study world regions critical to U.S.
interests (including Africa, Asia, Central & Eastern Europe, Eurasia,
Latin America & the Caribbean, and the Middle East). The countries of
Western Europe, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand are excluded.
NSEP
was designed to provide Americans with the resources and encouragement
they need to acquire skills and experiences in areas of the world
critical to the future security of our nation, in exchange for a
commitment to seek work in the federal government. As students of other
cultures and languages, NSEP Boren Scholars and Fellows begin to acquire
the international competence needed to communicate effectively across
borders, to understand other perspectives, and to analyze economic and
political affairs. For more information contact:
