Global Undergraduate Exchange Program Global UGRAD

Program Description:

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 2010 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.
