Announcing the Open Society Institute's Undergraduate Exchange Program

The Undergraduate Exchange Program (UEP) supports students from Bosnia
and Herzegovina, Croatia, Kosovo, Macedonia, Moldova, Mongolia,
Serbia, and Ukraine* in the United States for one year of non-degree
academic studies.  Applicants must currently be enrolled as a second-
year student at a university in their home country to be eligible.
*Applicants from Ukraine must be studying in the regions of
Dnipropetrovska, Zaporizhzhya or Donetsk to be eligible.

The program seeks to assist educational and civic development in
Southeastern and Eastern Europe and Mongolia by exposing participants
to a liberal-arts curriculum, different models of classroom
instruction, community service work, and civil society–related
programming. UEP combines the U.S. liberal arts academic experience
with exposure to American social issues and civic development through
involvement in community service–related work. The program aims to
create lasting ties among participants and their American colleagues,
thereby contributing to cultural understanding and tolerance.

Participants attend a university or college in the United States for
one year. While in the United States , grantees agree to complete 25
hours per 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 project in their own community.

For more information and an application form, please see http://
www.soros.org/initiatives/scholarship/focus_areas/
undergraduate_exchange.  Applications are due Monday, December 3, 2007.

Please forward this announcement to those who would be interested in
this program.
