Overview
This is an experience that can change your life. The Congress-Bundestag Youth Exchange program is for motivated high school students who want to live with a host family and attend school for an academic year in Germany. Since 1983, this Congressionally funded youth exchange program has helped to prepare young people for living in a global society.
As a Congress-Bundestag scholarship recipient, you will gain first-hand experience of German life, including family, school, culture, recreation and much more. You will live with a carefully selected host family who will provide room, board and a caring home. Each day you will have the opportunity to learn and discover more about life in Germany.
The CBYX program has enabled more than 17,000 students to expand their global perspectives and make new friends. Students gain world views of current affairs and German social, economic and political life. Congress-Bundestag students are
youth ambassadors of the United States, sharing their life and culture with their German hosts and building greater understanding of the United States and its diversity.
