Benjamin Franklin Transatlantic Fellowship
The Benjamin Franklin Transatlantic Fellowship is an intensive short-term exchange
program, created to foster relationships among young Europeans and Americans
to build strong linkages and awareness of shared values. The four-week program will enable students, ages 16-18, to explore
U.S. foreign policy priorities such as youth engagement, support for democracy and civil society, and
economic prosperity. The program will consist of a series of lectures, seminar discussions and presentations,
and a broad assortment of practical, faculty- and mentor-led workshops. The coursework and classroom activities
will be complemented by community service activities, site visits, social and cultural activities, and homestays
with American families to deepen participants' experience of U.S. society during their exchange.

Applicants have to be born between June 25, 2004, and June 24, 2007 (i.e., be 16, 17, or 18 years of age at the time of the program start).


Only short-listed applicants will be contacted. Interviews will be held in February 2023.
