The U.S. Embassy is pleased to announce a call
for applications for the Kennedy-Lugar Youth Exchange and Study (YES)
Program Spring Semester 2027. The YES program builds a network of young
leaders who learn first-hand about American culture and principles, while at the
same time sharing theirs. The YES Program provides an opportunity for high
school students from Bangladesh to live and study in the United States for one
semester. Applicants compete for the YES program through a rigorous, merit￾based selection process. Participants live with a U.S. family, attend an American
high school, gain leadership skills, and engage in activities to learn about U.S.
excellence in governance, business, and innovation. Since 2004, 530 Bangladeshi
students have participated in the YES program.
