Boren Scholarship
Jenna Keckler, who is pursuing her B.A. in Teaching English as a Second or Foreign Language (TESL), received the Boren Award South Asian Flagship Languages Initiative (SAFLI) to study Hindi or Urdu in India. The highly competitive award allows recipients to study the language and culture of another country, then return to America to fulfill a one-year service requirement with a government agency. Many Boren alumni have launched careers in the Departments of State, Defense, and Homeland Security, specifically because of the scholarship. Keckler also received the Critical Language Scholarship to study Portuguese in Brazil but is forgoing that honor to accept the Boren Award. She is Liberty’s second Boren Scholar in two years.
