NESA UGRAD
A Study abroad in the USA with NESA UGRAD
The U.S. Embassy in Morocco is pleased to announce the 2013-14 Near East & South Asia Undergraduate Exchange Program (NESA UGRAD) sponsored by the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs of the U.S. Department of State.
Program Description
NESA UGRAD provides outstanding Moroccan students ages 18-25 with the opportunity to pursue one academic year of undergraduate studies at an American university. NEAS UGRAD specifically seeks students who might not otherwise have the opportunity to study abroad. All fields of study are available except for clinical fields (medicine).
NESA UGRAD is not a degree program. It is an academic challenge, a cultural immersion and the perfect stepping stone to future graduate studies in the USA. American university credits do not transfer to the Moroccan university system – Moroccan Students generally take a year off (année blanche) from their Moroccan studies in order to participate in NESA UGRAD.
The application deadline for Morocco is February 18, 2013. Late or incomplete applications will not be considered. Only applicants selected for interviews will be contacted.
