The Public Affairs Office of the U.S. Embassy started a series of ten weekly radio programs with the Family Radio FM 104.5 as part of its on-going efforts to promote educational opportunities in the U.S. and the program alumni of U.S. Department of State. Each of these 10 programs addressed one specific U.S. Government funded scholarship and exchange program and two alumni from that program were invited to share their experience by participating in that program. The first of these 10 programs aired on March 15 and two staff of the Public Affairs‟ Section, Uyanga A and Uyanga E, the Cultural Assistant and the Alumni Coordinator, gave general overview of the long-term and short-term exchanges and scholarship programs offered by the U.S. Embassy. They also gave advice on finding information; how to search for scholarships and where to find advice. 8 of these programs have successfully aired so far and the programs will close off with a program about the activities and goals of the Mongolian Association of State Alumni and stu-dent visa procedures. The program airs every Tuesday at 16:00 with a replay/repetition every Thursday at the same time. All of these programs will also be available on the public website of the Mongolian Association of State Alumni (MASA): http://www.masa.org.mn/.
