US Government YES Scholarship Details

The United States Government YES Scholarship is for students from countries with significant Muslim populations to live and study for an academic year in the United States.

Through the U.S. Department of State’s Kennedy-Lugar Youth Exchange and Study (YES) program, high school students from countries with significant Muslim populations live and study for an academic year in the United States.

YES students serve as “youth ambassadors” of their home country, promoting mutual understanding by forming lasting relationships with their host families and communities.

The program officially launched in Nigeria in 2003 in hopes to expand communication between the people of the United States and Nigeria in order to promote mutual understanding and respect. Since then, over 402 Nigerian students have completed the YES program and now participate as alumni.

YES Scholarship Benefits

The YES scholarship covers costs related to:

  • round-trip airfare from your home country to the United States;
  • the cost of a Pre-Departure Orientation;
  • placement with a U.S. host family for 10 to 11 months;
  • a modest monthly stipend;
  • health insurance; and
  • the cost of program activities and materials.
