Last summer, Emma Roy\u2014a secondary education: political science major and Brock Scholar in the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga Honors College\u2014spent two months speaking only Chinese in an immersive language program at National Cheng Kung University in Tainan, Taiwan.<\/p>\n

As one of 23 U.S. students selected for the prestigious Critical Language Scholarship (CLS) Chinese Program\u2014an initiative of the U.S. Department of State\u2019s Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs\u2014Roy and her cohort were required to speak Chinese in all of the National Cheng Kung University classrooms and everywhere on campus. \u201cOf course, when you left campus,\u201d she said of the experience, \u201cyou were on your own to make your own decisions, but you can\u2019t get around Taiwan without knowing Chinese.\u201d<\/p>\n

It turns out that two months was just the start.<\/p>\n

Roy, currently completing her junior year at UTC, has been selected for the prestigious David L. Boren Scholarship<\/strong><\/a>, an initiative of the Defense Language and National Security Education Office, which is part of the U.S. Department of Defense.<\/p>\n

Beginning in mid-September, Roy will spend 25 weeks\u2014the equivalent of an academic year\u2014at National Taiwan University as part of the International Chinese Language Program (ICLP).<\/p>\n

The Boren program aims to provide funding and opportunities for U.S. undergraduate and graduate students by producing a cadre of linguistically adept people with a thorough awareness of the political, economic and social dynamics of nations that are significant to world affairs, encouraging students to fully immerse themselves in the language and culture of these regions.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Boren is the premier undergraduate scholarship focused on national security in the United States,\u201d said Dr. Trey Straussberger, director of the UTC Office of National Scholarships. \u201cIt funds students who go abroad for either a summer or a semester\u2014in Emma\u2019s case, the whole academic year\u2014in order to learn what the federal government calls a critical language. These are languages that are of special interest and special need to the federal government.<\/p>\n

\u201cGiven the United States\u2019 growing interest in the Indo-Pacific region,\u201d he continued, learning Mandarin Chinese \u201cis of high demand. There\u2019s a large need for these types of language speakers.\u201d<\/p>\n

Roy, who spent last fall at the University of Brighton in England following her summer CLS experience, said she is looking forward to her next overseas learning experience.<\/p>\n

\u201cI applied for the Boren when I returned to UTC after studying abroad in England,\u201d she said. \u201cI knew I wanted to become fluent in Chinese. The ICLP is an intense immersion course in Mandarin, and you sign a language pledge as well.\u201d<\/p>\n

Roy, a native of Murfreesboro, Tennessee, graduated from The Webb School\u2014a college preparatory school in Bell Buckle, Tennessee\u2014in 2021. This semester, she is a student research fellow for UC Foundation Professor of Medical Anthropology Zibin Guo in the Department of Social, Cultural, and Justice Studies and a tutor at DuPont Elementary School in Chattanooga.<\/p>\n

A unique aspect of the Boren Scholarship is that, upon completion of the program and college graduation, recipients are expected to fulfill a service requirement by working for a federal agency or department with national security responsibilities.<\/p>\n

Roy said her post-Boren plan is to return to UTC for the fall 2025 semester and graduate in May 2026. From there, she will spend at least one year working as a foreign service officer for the U.S. Department of State.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I applied, I put all of my effort into that application; I really wanted this,\u201d she said. \u201cI had a discussion with my parents and they said, \u2018If you get this, you are going to have to think your life is going to change; it\u2019s basically planned out for the next three years,\u2019 but it\u2019s worth it.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are so many jobs and so many opportunities, and I\u2019ll definitely be in a position to meet a broad network of people in foreign service. After the CLS, I knew I wanted a foreign service affairs career.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to its website, Boren Scholars come from diverse backgrounds and perspectives and \u201care equipped with the intellectual curiosity and academic training to solve our nation\u2019s complex, global problems. They are the public sector\u2019s next generation of influencers and innovators.\u201d<\/p>\n

The scholarship covers tuition, travel, living expenses and other educational expenditures related to the study abroad experience.<\/p>\n

Roy is the first UTC student to land the Boren Scholarship in recent years.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m thrilled that there\u2019s a Boren recipient at UTC because it not only speaks to the kind of exceptional character of our students academically but also their dedication to public service,\u201d Straussberger said.<\/p>\n
