Boren Awards: African Languages Initiative

Dear Boren Campus
Representatives and Contacts,
 
As the Boren Fellowship
and Boren Scholarship deadlines quickly approach (February 1 and 10,
respectively), I wanted to let you know that there is more information available
about the African Languages Initiative overseas programs on the American
Councils for International Education’s website. Please see http://apps.americancouncils.org/africanlanguages
for this program information, which includes each program’s potential
curriculum, as well as credit transfer information. Please keep in mind that
while the minimum level of proficiency required for the overseas programs is
novice-high, there will be options for those starting the overseas program at
higher levels too.
 

As a reminder, the
African Languages Initiative allows Boren Scholars and Fellows to further their
study of Bambara, Swahili, Yoruba, and Zulu through both domestic and overseas
study. Please see www.borenawards.org
and look under announcements for more specific information.
 
If you have any
questions about the African Languages Initiative, or about any part of the Boren
awards, please contact us at 800-618-NSEP (6737) or boren@iie.org.

Sincerely,
 
Susan
