To Advisors and Directors of Graduate & Undergraduate Studies -
Many UCONN students are interested in critical language and cultural immersion study programs. The Critical Language Scholarship and the Boren Awards are exceptional opportunities to pursue these interests in an international setting.
Please share with your students and advisees the upcoming virtual Information Session. And read about several of our successful UCONN recipients of these nationally competitive awards (below).
