Have You Looked Into Sponsored Programs to the U.S.?
Tuesday, October 6th, 2009Sponsored Programs Offer Students the Chance to Study in the U.S. – For Free!
If it’s Fall, it must be time to apply for a sponsored program!
Fall is a season of change. The carefree days of Summer give way to more serious thoughts about preparing for the future (both short and long term). Fall brings with it fantastic opportunities around the world for students interested in studying the U.S. or elsewhere. In many countries, recruitment has begun for programs that provide 100% funding to study on short or long term programs in high school, community colleges, undergraduate programs and graduate schools.
Some of our favorites include:
1. The FLEX program for high school students (funded by the U.S. State Department and administered by American Councils for International Education) -
2. The Youth Exchange and Study (YES) program for high school students
3. The Eurasia Undergraduate Program (funded by the U.S. State Department) for non-degree programs in U.S. two and four year colleges
4. The Kosovo – America Education Fund supporting graduate study in the US for Kosova’s next generation of leaders.
Besides these opportunities to study in the US, a little research uncovers many scholarships that fund study in your home region. Some of our favorites include:
1. The US-Central Asia Education Foundation (supports business study in Central Asia at KIMEP and AUCA).
2. The Bolashak Scholarships for young leaders in Kazakhstan to study in numerous countries overseas (including the US).
3. The “Light” Foundation scholarships in Armenia
4. Chevening Scholarships to study in the U.K. (that’s right! myUface will even discuss scholarships to “competitor” countries! Why? Because they may be the right fit for you and that’s our goal…to find the BEST education opportunity for our network).
The list above is by no means exhaustive. However, it does give a glimpse in to the numerous types of sponsored programs that exist for motivated students. myUface is here to help in this process, but it does begin with you! An now that Fall is here, it’s time to get started!
