For the 2025 cycle University of Wisconsin-Madison will NOT offer the SAFLI program.
Students who are interested in applying for Hindi or Urdu are still encouraged to apply as independents at Boren Awards. For students who are Fellowship applicants, Boren encourages them to look at the domestic programs offered for these languages as well should they be interested.

The South Asian Flagship Languages Initiative (SAFLI) is a special initiative of the Boren Awards for International Study offering awardees the opportunity for intensive language study of Hindi and Urdu and for cultural immersion by participating in domestic and overseas language programs. In addition, Participants in SAFLI may start with no language proficiency through advanced proficiency in Hindi. The SAFLI program is administered through the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Please read the information below and follow the links on the right for further information.
SAFLI-Hindi and -Urdu students participate in a full-time domestic summer program offered at UW-Madison through SASLI. SAFLI-Hindi students will then travel abroad to Jaipur, India for a full-time fall semester of language and culture study. SAFLI-Urdu students must select a program for the study of Urdu in India according to the rules for self-designed programs. Requests for additional study through to the spring semester can be made to Boren during the application process. All participants must complete both the summer domestic and fall abroad programs.
In addition to full-time language courses, students will have language partners, language conversation tables (summer), homestays (fall), and cultural excursions to help ensure that language goals are being met. Details on these additional benefits will be provided at the start of each program in summer and fall.
