Future Leaders Exchange Program
Now in its eighteenth year, Future Leaders Exchange Program (FLEX) provides an opportunity for Georgian secondary school students in the 9th, 10th, and 11th grades to study at an American high school and to live with an American host family. The FLEX program is fully funded by the U.S. Department of State and is administered by American Councils for International Education in Georgia.
Scholarship recipients
will be provided with travel accommodations from their home to the United
States and back as well as a monthly allowance for living expenses. While
in the U.S., Georgian students will have the opportunity to share Georgian
culture. They will learn about the United States firsthand by
participating in family life, school study, and extracurricular activities.
Recipients of FLEX
scholarships are selected by an independent panel of experienced educators in
the United States on the basis of merit demonstrated in the application
materials. Merit is determined by evaluating the written application,
recommendations, English language proficiency, and an applicant's demonstrated
preparedness for a yearlong exchange experience.
We invite all students to participate in the competition who: are presently studying in the 9th,
10th, and 11th grades; have good academic standing; be eligible to receive a U.S. visa;
have not lived in the United States for more than three months in the last five
years; are citizens of Georgia; have previously studied English or demonstrate
English language abilities.
