Program
Help connect high-school students and their parents in your school or community with US Government exchange program scholarships that provide the opportunity for over a thousand students to study overseas each year. Learn how students can increase their leadership skills and prepare for the globalized workforce by spending up to an academic year in countries such as China, Russia, Morocco, and many others. State Department staff will explain these exciting programs, help demystify the application process, and how you can promote and assist at your library.
