US State Department Study Abroad Programs

  • The U.S. Department of State provides over 1,000 merit-based scholarships each year for U.S. high school students to study abroad for a summer or an academic year in over 25 countries. These high school exchange programs prepare young Americans to succeed in the 21st century’s global economy by developing their foreign language skills, increasing their cross-cultural understanding, strengthening their leadership capacity, and fostering new academic insights and ambitions.  The application period is now open for the following programs:

    These scholarships include international airfare, tuition, and program costs, as well as meals and living accommodations (often with a host family).  The programs have no language prerequisites, but applicants must be between the ages of 15 and 18 when the program starts. Seniors are welcome to apply and can travel after graduation, as long as they meet the age requirement.  We are particularly trying to reach young people who would not otherwise have the opportunity to participate in a study abroad experience.

    We would greatly appreciate you sharing this information with teachers, students, parents, and others in your networks who may be interested in these opportunities.

AP Capstone Program

  • What Is AP Capstone?

    AP Capstone

    AP Capstone™ is a College Board program that equips students with the independent research, collaborative teamwork, and communication skills that are increasingly valued by colleges. It cultivates curious, independent, and collaborative scholars and prepares them to make logical, evidence-based decisions.

    The degree requires the completion of two courses, AP Seminar and AP Research, both of which are offered through the Reagan Model UN program. In addition to completing the courses and passing an AP exam for each, students will also need to pass four additional AP exams to earn the Capstone diploma.
