The National Security Education Program (NSEP) (www.borenawards.org) was created through the David L. Boren National Security Education Act, signed into law in December 1991. The Boren scholarships provide opportunities for U.S. undergraduate students to study in world regions critical to U.S. interests. Similarly, Boren fellowships encourage U.S. graduate students to add an important language component to their educational endeavors. Since 2005, the Language Flagship Program (www.thelanguageflagship.org) has offered domestic and overseas programs in African languages, Arabic, Chinese, Hindi/Urdu, Korean, Persian, Portugease, Russian, Swahili, and Turkish. The English for Heritage Language Speakers program (EHLS) (www.cal.org/ehls) assists adults who are native speakers of critical languages to achieve the professional proficiency in English necessary to succeed in federal government positions. A key element of the program is the Open Source Analysis Project in which the scholar conducts unclassified research on topics that match their background and which are of interest to the U.S. Government. This program provides government agencies with analytical support while giving the EHLS scholars an opportunity to conduct authentic research, practice analytical thinking, and master the writing styles appropriate for professional reporting. The program is offered at Georgetown University, Washington, D.C. Recipients of all NSEP awards must work for at least one year in the federal government in a position with national security responsibilities with priority given to service in the Department of Defense, Department of Homeland Security, Department of State, or an IC organization. The Program for Research and Training on Eastern Europe and the Independent States of the Former Soviet Union (Title VIII) (http://www.state.gov/s/inr/grants/ index.htm) helps U.S. citizens develop critical language skills; attain deep expertise in political, economic and sociological issues; and conduct research that informs government policymakers.
