The Boren (Undergraduate) Scholarship provides up to $20,000 for as much as one year of study abroad. Students must study languages critical to U.S. interests, including Arabic, Chinese, Russian, Turkish and most languages spoken in Africa, Asia, Central and Eastern Europe, Eurasia and the Middle East. Boren Scholarship recipients come from a variety of academic backgrounds and are required to work for the federal government for one year, either before or after completing graduate school. Scholars are encouraged to find jobs in the federal government where they can continue to use and improve their language skills. Applicants must be U.S. citizens and have an interest in working for the government in some capacity related to national security interests. National security interests are broadly defined for the purpose of the Boren awards. The Boren (Graduate) Fellowships provide funding for one year of language study abroad as part of a graduate program that will lead to eventual employment with the federal government. More details about the Boren awards can be found on the Boren website (www.borenawards.org).
The Honors College at VCU is located at 701 W. Grace Street (between Laurel & Pine). Those attending the information session should enter The Honors College using the Grace Street doors halfway between Laurel and Pine Streets. If anyone enters the building at the corner of Laurel and Grace Streets, they cannot get to the The Honors College.
Anyone who has questions about this information session can contact the National Scholarship Office (honorsnso@vcu.edu or 804-828-1803).
]]>The internship program is 8-weeks in length and begins Monday, June 7, 2010. All interns should plan to work 40-hours per week at $7.25/hour. In order to have the best internship experience possible, all interns will have the opportunity to work in various departments at either a radio or television station during the 8-week program. A total of 32 students statewide will be selected to participate and all interns will be placed at a radio or television station in the state of Virginia. Every effort is made to place a student in their geographical area of preference; however, this can not be guaranteed. Only students who are Virginia residents OR a non-resident currently attending an accredited college or university in the state of Virginia are eligible for the Summer Internship Program.
Attached is the Summer Internship Application. Applications are also available on the VAB website at http://www.vabonline.com/education/intern.aspx and MUST be postmarked by February 12, 2010 (please mail; faxes will not be accepted). The application must be completed in full or it will not be considered. Applications postmarked after February 12, 2010 will not be considered.
