The Global Undergraduate Exchange Program (Global UGRAD) offers one-semester scholarships for outstanding undergraduate students from participating countries to pursue full-time non-degree study in the United States. It combines academic coursework with community service, professional development, and cultural activities. The program aims to foster mutual understanding and leadership skills among young leaders worldwide. Participants gain exposure to diverse perspectives while contributing to their host communities through service projects.

Applicants must be at least 18 years old and citizens of a Global UGRAD participating country, currently residing there. They should be enrolled in an undergraduate degree program at a university outside the United States. Proficiency in English is required. The program is open to students from all academic disciplines, backgrounds, and income levels, with selection based on academic merit, leadership potential, and community engagement.

Interested candidates should check the official program page for the current application requirements and materials. Typically, the process includes submitting an online application, academic transcripts, letters of recommendation, a personal statement, and proof of English proficiency. Shortlisted applicants may be interviewed. Ensure all documents are translated and attested if required. Deadlines and application portals are updated annually on the official website.
