There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

Boren Scholarships, an initiative of the National Security Education Program, provide unique funding opportunities (up to $25,000) for U.S. undergraduate students to study less commonly taught languages in world regions critical to U.S. interests, and underrepresented in study abroad, including Africa, Asia, Central and Eastern Europe, Eurasia, Latin America, and the Middle East. The countries of Western Europe, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand are excluded.
Boren Scholars represent a vital pool of highly motivated individuals (undergraduate and graduate level) who wish to work in the federal national security arena. In exchange for funding, Boren Scholars commit to working in the federal government for at least one year after graduation.
Undergraduate scholarship applicants are required to submit by the Georgia Tech campus deadline on January 6, 2023 and meet with the Georgia Tech review panel soon thereafter. Final fellowship applications are due on January 25, 2023 and the scholarship applications are due on February 1 2023.
