YSEALI Academic Fellows 2015 Young South East Leader Initiative merupakan kegiatan yang mengundang calon pemimpin untuk datang ke Amerika Serikat. 

What is it?

Since Spring 2015, Indonesian YSEALI Academic Fellows have joined fellows from other ASEAN countries to take part in academic institutes in one of three core YSEALI themes:
– Civic engagement
– Environment and natural resources management
– Entrepreneurship and economic development
The YSEALI Academic Fellowships are intensive short term academic Institutes whose purpose is to provide groups of young leaders with a deeper understanding of the United States, and a particular theme, while simultaneously enhancing their leadership skills.
These five-week institutes, held on the campus of a U.S. university or college, include an academic residency, leadership development, an educational study tour, local community service activities, and opportunities to engage with American peers. Each program concludes in Washington, D.C. to allow for engagement with policymakers, governmental representatives, businesses, and think tanks.
Who is eligible to apply?
YSEALI members from all 10 ASEAN countries who are current undergraduate or graduate students or recently graduated.
How do I apply?
The program application for the Winter 2015 YSEALI Academic Fellows Program will open from September 16 – October 16. Applicants are limited to applying to only one exchange listed below.

The YSEALI Academic Fellowship on Civic Engagement will provide Fellows with an overview of how citizens have shaped U.S. history, government, and society both as individuals and groups.
