FULLY FUNDED : Apply for this US Embassy MEPI Student Leaders Program

Do you want to study in the United States of America as an undergraduate or graduate student from the MENA region? The US Embassy MEPI Student Leaders Programme 2024 application is now open, so take advantage of this fantastic opportunity.

Students will have the chance to interact with civil society organisations, interact with American classmates, and participate in community service throughout the one-year Student Leaders Programme (SLP).

The 2024-2025 program will address Climate Change and Environmental Protection.

Students are placed in U.S. universities where they complete academic coursework, develop leadership and project management skills, and expand their understanding of civil society and participatory governance processes in the United States and MENA region. The cornerstone of the program is the development of Community Engagement Plans (CEP), where each student is required to identify and issue/opportunity related to climate change or environmental protection that they would like to address in their communities. During the program, students will have the opportunity to meet their American peers, engage in community service activities, and meet civil society organizations.

The Student Leaders Program (SLP) is a yearlong three-part program: pre-summer, summer, and post-summer with the most intensive part taking place during the summer. The summer program is an intensive 4-week program, and is tentatively scheduled to take place from June 28 until July 26, 2024. The summer program will be an in-person program. Upon completion of the summer program, students will implement their Community Engagement Plans (CEPs) and receive follow-on support, training, and professional networking opportunities, including joining the 2,000 strong MEPI Alumni network. A competitive follow-on Accelerator Workshop may be held in the region.
