Boren Graduate
Fellowships encourage U.S. graduate students to add an international dimension
to their curricula. Students already enrolled in internationally oriented
programs are encouraged to intensify their study of areas, languages,
and cultures. Fellowships provide support for overseas or domestic study,
or a combination of both. The maximum award for a combined overseas and
domestic study is $30,000. A maximum of $12,000 per semester for up to
two semesters is available for overseas study. A maximum of $12,000 is
available for a program of domestic study only. Support for domestic study
is limited to language or area studies that enhance a degree program.
Dissertation
enhancement projects support dissertation research conducted by graduate
students at a foreign site. Students are expected to work in close cooperation
with a host country institution and investigator. The applicant is responsible
for making all necessary arrangements with the host country institution
and scientist. The doctoral faculty advisor, on behalf of the student,
submits the dissertation enhancement proposal. In addition to the international
travel and associated living costs, support may be provided for materials
and supplies, survey fees, field assistants, specialized research equipment,
and other expenses, when justified as necessary for the conduct of the
dissertation research. For more information and application details, go
to International Opportunities for Scientists and Engineers. As an alternative
to an INT proposal, both the Biological Sciences (BIO) and the Social,
Behavioral and Economic Sciences (SBE) Directorates will support dissertation
improvement grants with international collaborative components. These
proposals should be submitted to the appropriate BIO or SBE program. INT
will co-review such proposals to determine eligibility for additional
funding from INT. Students are discouraged from simultaneously submitting
similar proposals to INT and the relevant BIO or SBE program. Go to www.nsf.gov/sbe/int/int_opptype.htm#fellgrad
