The Global Undergraduate Exchange Program is sponsored by the U.S. Department of State with funding provided by the U.S. Government and administered by World Learning.
Each year the U.S. Department of State selects approximately 250 promising young undergraduate leaders from some 60 countries across the globe to participate in a one-semester exchange at U.S. colleges and universities. Program participants take courses alongside their U.S. peers, engage in community service, and develop skills critical to success in the 21st century. Participants leave the United States with the tools to become leaders in their professions and communities. Global UGRAD alumni go on to receive Fulbright grants, obtain prestigious international internships, and work in business and government in their home countries and regions.
