The many scholarship and exchange programs AMIDEAST administers have benefitted an increasing number of bright young women from the region who are returning home with skills and knowledge that will change their lives for the better. In addition, several programs have sought to single out women to help strengthen their role in society as professionals, as educators, and as critical actors in civil society.

Through private sector partnerships, AMIDEAST has been able to provide specialized internship opportunities in the information and computer technology (ICT) and engineering fields to qualified professionals.

These opportunities provide on-the-job exposure to state-of-the-art techniques in these fields and access to mentors likely to have a critical impact on participants' career development.

Through a handful of small specialized scholarship programs and scholarship search funds, AMIDEAST is working to open new doors for bright, non-elite youth to opportunities for higher education in the United States or at American-style universities in the region.

AMIDEAST is actively engaged in a number of initiatives that are helping to expand global understanding "one person at a time."

Exchange programs for young people who otherwise would not have the opportunity to live in and directly experience American culture and society continue to be one of the best ways we know to build bridges of international understanding between Americans and people from different cultural backgrounds.
