2012 Study of the United States Institutes (SUSI) for Cambodian Scholars

Overview

The U.S. Embassy in Phnom Penh is pleased to announce the availability of several scholarships for Cambodian scholars to participate in an academic program and study tour in the United States.

Study of the United States Institutes for Scholars are designed to strengthen curricula and improve the quality of teaching about the United States in academic institutions overseas. Foreign university faculty, secondary educators and other scholars spend approximately four weeks at host universities where they take part in a series of lectures, seminar discussions and site visits related to each institute’s theme. They learn about American educational philosophies, explore new teaching methods and pursue related research interests.

Participants spend the remaining two weeks on a study tour, which complements the academic program and includes visits to sites of interest in another geographic region of the country. Each institute concludes with several days of meetings and related study in Washington, D.C.
