The Office of Academic Exchange Programs in the Bureau of Educational and
Cultural Affairs of the U. S. Department of State, is pleased to announce a
new exchange program for undergraduate students-the 2011 Global
Undergraduate Exchange Program (Global UGRAD)
The Global UGRAD Program provides scholarships for one semester or one
academic year of U.S. Study in a NON-DEGREE Program. The goals of the
program are to provide a diverse group of emerging student leaders, from
non-elite and underrepresented groups in Indonesia and East Asia.
All global UGRAD Program participants will be enrolled full-time in
undergraduate course work chosen from the institution's (US) existing
curriculum to allow students ample opportunity for ongoing interaction with
U.S. Faculty and student peers, and for exposure to U.S. academic and
classroom culture..
To ensure that students succeed in their new academic environments, host
institutions will offer tailored instruction on topics including academic
research and writing, critical thinking, time management, note taking, and
studying for and taking tests. Participants will live on campus with
American peers.
Students will also be provided with opportunities to participate in up to
ten hours of community service per semester. Additionally, an internship
component will be offered to all academic-year participants during the
academic component of the program. Internships will be related to each
participant's field of study and/or career plans.
Participants may be eligible for up to 4 weeks of intensive English Language
instruction in the United States prior to the start of academic portion of
their program.
