Kennedy-Lugar Youth Exchange and Study Program in Tunisia – Apply Now!

Kennedy-Lugar Youth Exchange and Study Program in Tunisia - Apply Now!

Deadline: 31-Oct-21

Applications are now open for the Kennedy-Lugar Youth Exchange and Study (YES) Program to provide scholarships for high school students to study for one academic year in the United States.

YES students live with a host family, attend an American high school, acquire leadership skills, and engage in activities to learn about U.S. society and values; they also help educate Americans about their home country and culture. The program supports students with disabilities and encourages their participation.

Funded by the U.S. Department of State, the YES program was established by the U.S. Congress in 2003 to improve understanding between countries with significant Muslim populations and the United States. YES students serve as “youth ambassadors” of their home country, forming a cultural bridge of understanding by forming lasting relationships with their host families and communities.

After their year in the United States, YES alumni can look forward to participating in the active Tunisian YES alumni network.
