GLOBAL UGRAD Exchange Program: Call for 250 students: 1 year to study in The United States
The Global Undergraduate Exchange Program (Global UGRAD) is sponsored by the U.S. Department of State’s Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs (ECA). This international educational and cultural exchange program brings future leaders to the United States to experience the U.S. educational system, enhance their knowledge, and explore U.S. culture and values. It also affords students the opportunity to share their cultures and traditions with people in the United States. Global UGRAD is administered by World Learning on behalf of ECA.
Global UGRAD will provide a select group of 250 students with scholarships for one academic semester of undergraduate, non-degree study in the United States. The scholarship will cover international travel, tuition, room and board, accident/sickness insurance, a small monthly stipend, and funding for books. Global UGRAD is a substantive exchange program designed to expose students to the U.S. educational system, society, and culture. Finalists represent diverse disciplines, from architecture to engineering, biochemistry to literature and education. Students will live in university dormitories and will have the opportunity to participate in campus organizations and activities.
Eligibility:
· Students must be currently enrolled in an undergraduate degree program in their home country.
· Participants must be at least 18 years of age when they begin their UGRAD Program in the United States.
· They must also have at least one semester or an equivalent term to complete at their home institutions upon completion of the UGRAD Program.
· The UGRAD program cannot be the final academic term of a student’s undergraduate study.
· This is a non-degree program, so it is the students’ responsibility to check with their home institutions whether any credits accumulated during the UGRAD program will be transferred.
· All male applicants must have valid deferment.
