Iraqi Young Leaders Exchange Program for High School and Undergraduate Students
A PROGRAM SPONSORED AND MANAGED BY THE UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF STATE IMPLEMENTED BY WORLD LEARNING
Thank you for your interest in the Iraqi Young Leaders Exchange Program for High School and Undergraduate Students. For more than half a century, the people of the United States have supported international educational and cultural exchange programs as an investment in global understanding and peace. Such exchange programs have a long track record of bringing future leaders from around the world to the United States to experience the U.S. educational system, enhance their knowledge in major fields of study, and explore U.S. culture and values. These programs also give Americans invaluable experiences and insights from abroad. The Iraqi Young Leaders Exchange Program for Undergraduate Students is pleased to extend this opportunity to talented young and future leaders from Iraq.
The Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs of the United States Department of State sponsors and manages programs throughout the world to foster mutual understanding between the people of the United States and the people of other countries around the world. Underlying the role of exchanges in U.S. foreign policy is the belief that mutual understanding is of vital importance in an increasingly interdependent world, and that person-to-person exchange and training is one of the most effective ways to promote mutual understanding and contribute to the promotion of democracy, economic prosperity, international cooperation, and peace and security around the world. World Learning and America’s Development Foundation (ADF) under cooperative agreement to the U.S. Department of State, implement the Iraqi Young Leaders Exchange Program for High School and Undergraduate Students.
