- There are many scholarships available and all information is listed on the website.
- Description
- As a Youth For Understanding USA, Inc. (YFU) student, you'll gain the knowledge, skills, and insights that will prepare you to be a world player.
Every day you will learn something new - about the culture you're living in, about the language you're speaking, about people, art, music, literature, religion, trade, politics - and about yourself.
If living in a new country - for a year, semester, or summer - and learning about a different culture sounds like your kind of challenge, then it's time to go global with YFU. You'll live with a carefully selected host family who has volunteered to open their home and their hearts to you - providing room, board, and a caring home. If you choose a year or semester program, you'll also attend school where you'll make friends and learn what life is like for teens in another country. No matter what you do or where you go, you'll learn - from your host family, friends, and teachers. - Eligibility Requirements
- You must be between the ages of 15 and 19, meet minimum GPA requirements of 3.0 for year and semester programs and 2.0 for summer programs, and be in good health.
