Kennedy-Lugar YES Program in Libya

The Kennedy-Lugar Youth Exchange and Study (YES) Program is a scholarship program funded by the U.S. Department of State, and administered by AMIDEAST in countries throughout the Middle East and Northern Africa. The YES program allows high school students the opportunity to study for one academic year in the U.S., where they get the chance to have a different learning experience in the U.S. school system, live with an American family, make new friends, learn about the U.S. culture and at the same time, help Americans learn about the Libyan culture, society and traditions.

How To Apply:

Students must complete the pre-application online, and send it back to AMIDEAST to the e-mail address provided below by no later than November 30th.

Responsabiliser les femmes et les filles

Nous nous efforçons de faire participer les femmes et les filles de la région aux opportunités d'éducation et de formation qui les aident à réaliser leur plein potentiel, à contribuer à la sécurité financière de leurs familles, et à faire progresser leur société.

Ouvrir les portes vers une éducation supérieure

Grâce à quelques petits programmes de bourses spécialisés et des fonds de recherche pour obtenir des bourses, AMIDEAST s'emploie à ouvrir de nouvelles portes aux jeunes talentueux de classes sociales modestes vers des possibilités de projets d’études supérieures aux États-Unis ou dans des universités américaines dans la région.

Développer la compréhension globale

AMIDEAST est activement engagé dans un certain nombre d'initiatives qui contribuent à accroître la compréhension globale « une personne à la fois. »

Les programmes d'échanges de jeunes qui, autrement, n'auraient pas la possibilité de vivre et de faire l'expérience directe de la culture et de la société américaine, restent l'un des meilleurs moyens que nous connaissons afin de construire des ponts vers la compréhension internationale entre les Américains et les personnes d'origines culturelles différentes.

Former les leaders de l’avenir

Depuis plus de 40 ans, AMIDEAST est fier de son association au Fulbright Foreign Student Program, l'un de plusieurs programmes promettant de préparer des leaders capables de relever les défis de l’avenir.

Academic and Cultural Exchange

Depuis plus de 50 ans, AMIDEAST est leader dans le domaine des bourse et de la gestion des bourses. Nous avons soutenu des milliers d'individus du Moyen-Orient et d’Afrique du Nord qui sont venus dans ce pays grâce aux programmes de bourses et d'échanges pour étudier pendant de longues périodes et à court terme.

Ces programmes interculturels restent inégalés comme moyen d'améliorer et de faire progresser la compréhension et dissiper les stéréotypes et la désinformation.

What is SEVIS and what does it mean to you?

As of January 30, 2003, all sponsoring organizations are required to register students on the Student Exchange Visitors Information System (SEVIS). We have prepared this information sheet to help you understand SEVIS and your responsibilities.

What is SEVIS?

SEVIS is an internet-based database that allows schools and other sponsoring organizations to transmit data regarding students to the U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS). Information (see list below) is logged into the database to notify the INS about any significant change or pertinent action taken in the student's academic career in the United States. U.S. embassies and consulates also have access to SEVIS.
