The Global Undergraduate Exchange Program will provide one-semester or one academic year scholarships to outstanding college students from non-elite, underrepresented sectors in society. Scholars will be enrolled full-time in undergraduate course work chosen from the US host institution’s existing curriculum to allow for ample opportunity for on-going interaction with US faculty and student peers, and for exposure to US academic and classroom culture.
