Pajak, who is pursuing a Master of Science in International Policy Management (MSIPM) from Kennesaw State, will learn Arabic at a language institute during 11 months in Jordan, starting in January 2022. Boren Awards focus on geographic areas, languages and fields of study that are critical to United States interests and underrepresented in study abroad, and Pajak chose to conduct hers in Jordan because of her interest in the country s high number of refugees who have fled from Syria s ongoing civil war. This is the perfect opportunity for me, Pajak said. I love how much learning you

Six students win coveted Boren scholarships
Six UNG students won the Boren award in spring 2021. The Boren Scholarship recipients are Meghan McPeak, Dillon Evans, Phillip Ly, Daniel Shearer, and Katherine Torres. The Boren Fellowship recipient is Rhiannon Smith. Both provide up to $25,000 for students to intensively study language and culture abroad.
After studying Chinese for a week in high school, Meghan McPeak wanted to quit. Then something clicked. I started to remember the characters. It wasn t hard anymore, said the 22-year-old from Chapel Hill, North Carolina.
Her affinity for and skill in Chinese led her to the University of North Georgia (UNG) and its Chinese Language Flagship Program, which helped McPeak attain a highly competitive national scholarship. She is one of six UNG students to win a Boren award in spring 2021.
