The National Security Education Program’s (NSEP) David L. Boren Fellowships enable US graduate students to add an international and language component to their graduate education through specialization in area study, language study, or increased language proficiency. NSEP Boren Fellowships are intended to support US graduate students who will pursue the study of languages and cultures deemed critical to US national security, and who are highly motivated by the opportunity to work in the federal government. Fellowships enable both master’s and doctoral level students representing a broad range of academic and professional disciplines to add a significant language and international dimension to their curricula. The NSEP service requirement stipulates that an award recipient will work in the federal government in a position with national security responsibilities.

The NSEP National Flagship Language Program seeks to support graduate students who will take their place among the next generation of global professionals, commanding a superior level of fluency in one of many languages critical to US competitiveness and security.  Flagship programs are now available in Arabic, Chinese, Hindi/Urdu, Korean, Persian/Farsi, and Eurasian Languages (Russian, Central Asian). Award recipients are bound by a service requirement similar to that given for the Boren Fellowships, for a period of time equal to the duration of assistance provided under the program.
