Academic Year Programs

Youth Exchange Studies Program (YES):  YES brings Ethiopian high school students (enrolled in the 9th or 10th grade) to the United States to live with American host families, attend high school and experience community life for an academic year. Successful applicants have a good command of the English language, a good academic record, and the personal skills, qualities, attitude and motivation to enable them to succeed as exchange students.

The Hubert H. Humphrey Fellowship Program: Each year, the U.S. Department of State's Bureau of Education and Cultural Affairs offers mid-career professionals the opportunity to pursue graduate-level academic course work with professional development activities through the Humphrey Program. While the Program does not offer a degree, it does provide broad, professional enrichment through a combination of activities tailored to each Fellow's interest. Humphrey Fellowships are limited to one academic year, preceded, if appropriate by a period of English-language training. More information:
