The Global UGRAD is a one-semester non-degree academic study program scholarship in a U.S. college or university for a broad group of emerging student leaders. Global Undergraduate Exchange Program is a scholarship entirely funded by the U.S. Department of State’s Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs that attempts to recruit participants from underrepresented backgrounds who have not had previous opportunities to study in the U.S. Successful applicants can expect to gain a deep understanding of American society, culture, and academic institutions, as well as opportunities to improve their professional abilities.

To improve their awareness of the United States, participants will be required to take one 3-credit U.S. studies course. Participants will share campus housing with American peers and will be required to complete twenty hours of community service.
