[ Stipendien | Scholarships ]

The Undergraduate Exchange Program (UEP), organized by the Open Society Institute, supports students from Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Macedonia, Moldova, Mongolia, Romania, and Serbia in the United States for one year of nondegree academic studies.

Participants attend a university or college in the United States for one year. While in the United States, grantees agree to complete 25 hours a semester of community service work in an area of interest to them. At the end of the year, they are expected to return home to complete their degrees. Once back in their home country, grantees complete a community service internship or project.
Participant selection and university placement is determined by a panel of experts in the United States. Candidates do not apply to a specific university.

Next Deadline: December 1, 2006.

For more information and an application form, please see the UEP guidelines.
