2015 GLOBAL UNDERGRADUATE EXCHANGE SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM
The Public Affairs Sections (PAS) seek candidates for the 2015 Global Undergraduate Exchange Program (UGRAD). First, second, or third-year undergraduate students who demonstrate leadership through academic excellence, community involvement, and extracurricular activities, and who have a good command of English, are invited to apply for the program. The application deadline is 5:00 PM, Friday, February 27, 2015.
Program Description
Funded by the U.S. Department of State’s Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs, the Global UGRAD provides scholarships for one semester (approximately five months), enabling undergraduate students to study in a non-degree program at U.S. universities. The goal of the program is to provide a diverse group of emerging student leaders with a substantive exchange experience at a U.S. college or university.
For the academic year 2015-16, the program will place approximately 250 outstanding undergraduate students from East Asia and the Pacific, Europe and Eurasia, the Near East and North Africa, South and Central Asia, Sub-Saharan Africa, and the Western Hemisphere for non-degree, full time study at U.S. colleges and universities, starting in August 2015 or January 2016. In addition, participants who do not meet host
institution language requirements will be eligible for two to four weeks of intensive English language instruction in the United States prior to the start of the academic portion of their program. Pre-academic English will take place in the fall semester of 2015-2016; the academic portion will commence for all students in the spring semester. Vietnam can nominate up to 8 candidates for this program.
