Last week, we posted about about Boren Awards and the Critical Language Scholarship, which are ways to have the government pay for your study abroad. This week, we are proud to announce that 13 KU students have been awarded major scholarships to study abroad, including Boren Awards, Critical Language Scholarships, and Gilman Scholarships (which we will outline in an upcoming post).
