The Department of State’s 2013-2014 Global Undergraduate Exchange Program in Eurasia & Central Asia brings selected undergraduate students to the United States for one academic year at an American university, college or community college, allowing them to develop a nuanced understanding of the United States and to share their countries and cultures with Americans. Following the program, Global UGRAD participants return to finish university in their home countries, share what they have learned with others, and contribute to the development of their home communities.

The Global Undergraduate Exchange Program in Eurasia and Central Asia is a program of the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs of the U.S. Department of State and is implemented by IREX.
