Study Subject(s):Agriculture, Business, Computer Science, Education, Environmental Studies, Journalism, Political Science, Public Administration, and related fields
Course Level:Undergraduate
Scholarship Provider: The East West Center
Scholarship can be taken at: USA
Eligibility:
-Applicants must have completed the Sixth Form (the final year of high school in many countries) at the time of application. Individuals who have completed some undergraduate level courses but have not obtained the equivalent of a U.S. four-year bachelor’s degree are also eligible.
- Individuals who have completed a three-year baccalaureate program may apply for a one-year bridging program, which, upon completion, allows for application to a master’s degree program. Some master’s programs may not require the bridging year, depending on prior study and academic performance during the first year.
- The USSP program does not generally allow direct application and admission to a graduate degree program. Because an objective of the program is to provide an educational exchange experience to those not previously afforded such an opportunity, preference will usually be given to candidates who have not had recent extensive experience in the United States.
-Preference may also be given to candidates who have not had extensive opportunities for study at educational institutions outside the Pacific Islands region (i.e., outside the countries listed in paragraph one above.)
-Scholarship recipients must be able to meet the requirements of the Exchange Visitor (J-1 visa) program. Individuals who have dual citizenship, one being that of the United States, are not eligible.
