缅北禁地

The official selection criteria for the Boren Scholarships and Boren Fellowships are listed below, along with statements on consideration of veterans of the U.S. military and non-discrimination.

Applications will be evaluated on these criteria by IIE-organized regional review panels and the national nominating panel.
