The JSI curriculum includes economics, statistics, domestic/international policy issues and leadership topics, all designed to sharpen quantitative, analytic and communication skills. Extracurricular activities are also included as well. Students who are selected for the 2018 Junior Summer Institute Fellowship cohort will study on the campus of one of our five participating universities: Carnegie Mellon University, Princeton University, University of Michigan, University of Minnesota, and the University of California, Berkeley.
Please visit the PPIA website for further information. National Deadline to Apply: November 1, 2017

Critical Language Scholarship
The Critical Language Scholarship (CLS) Program is an intensive overseas language and cultural immersion program for American students enrolled at U.S. colleges and universities. The program includes intensive language instruction and structured cultural enrichment experiences designed to promote rapid language gains.
CLS is a program of the U.S. Department of State to expand dramatically the number of Americans studying and mastering critical foreign languages. Students of diverse disciplines and majors are encouraged to apply. Participants are expected to continue their language study beyond the scholarship period, and later apply their critical language skills in their future professional careers.
Boren Scholarships
Boren Scholarships, an initiative of the National Security Education Program, provide unique funding opportunities for U.S. undergraduate students to study less commonly taught languages in world regions critical to U.S. interests, and underrepresented in study abroad, including Africa, Asia, Central and Eastern Europe, Eurasia, Latin America, and the Middle East. The countries of Western Europe, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand are excluded.
Boren Scholars represent a vital pool of highly motivated individuals who wish to work in the federal national security arena. In exchange for funding, Boren Scholars commit to working in the federal government for at least one year after graduation. Boren Scholarships promote long term linguistic and cultural immersion, and therefore study abroad proposals for two or more semesters are strongly encouraged.
Please visit the CUFR website to see more about the GW application process and the Boren website to learn more about the scholarship program.
