How are the high school exchange programs that American Councils administers different from other fee-based exchange programs?
The three programs that American Councils works with, FLEX, YES, and A-SMYLE, are one-year scholarship-based programs funded by the U.S. State Department to encourage learning and understanding between Americans and people from the participating countries in Eurasia, Southeast Asia, and Eastern Europe. Rather than simply paying to study abroad, these selected students have undergone a competitive process to earn the right to represent their countries in these programs. Each student speaks English and is eager to learn about American culture, while acting as an ambassador for his or her own country.
