Fellowships
Graham Pitts and Nathaniel Mathews have been awarded, 2008, David L. Boren Fellowships. Pitts will hold his fellowship in Lebanon, and Mathews will use his award for work in Oman.
The National Security Education Program's (NSEP) David L. Boren Fellowships enable U.S. graduate students to add an important international and language component to their graduate education through specialization in area study, language study, or increased language proficiency. NSEP supports students studying languages, cultures, and world regions other than Western Europe, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. Boren Fellowships are intended to support U.S. graduate students who will pursue the study of languages and cultures deemed critical to U.S. national security, and who are highly motivated by the opportunity to work in the federal government.
