What the grant funds

The Office of Citizen Exchanges of the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs (ECA) announces an open competition for cooperative agreements for the FY 2022 Future Leaders Exchange (FLEX) Program: Student Placement and Monitoring Component. The FLEX program, created in 1992, supports U.S. foreign policy goals by promoting mutual understanding and enhancing relations between the United States and the participating European and Eurasian countries. The FLEX program provides scholarships for high school students to live with an American family in American society for an academic year and acquire leadership skills while attending a U.S. high school. The students live with host families, participate in activities to learn about American society and values, and, in turn, expose their host communities across the United States to the cultures and traditions of the people of Europe and Eurasia. To date, more than 30,000 students have participated in the FLEX program. Please see the full announcement for additional information.
