SELECTION PROCESS AND CRITERIA
The UGRAD Program is conducted as a merit-based open competition. After the deadline, all eligible applications will be reviewed by a panel of U.S. academic specialists in the United States. Chosen semi-finalists will be interviewed in their home country by a bi-national committee of US specialists, program alumni, and US embassy representatives, and must take the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) in early 2005. IREX staff provides administrative support only and does not vote in the final selections. All applicants will be notified of their status in spring 2005. Fellowships will begin in August 2005 and will be completed within 10 months. Due to the volume of applications received, IREX will not be able to forward explanations to those applicants that were not chosen as program finalists.
Selection panels will use the following criteria to evaluate applications (not in order of importance):
· Academic excellence
· Leadership potential
· Proficiency in written and spoken English
· Flexibility and suitability as an exchange student
· Commitment to returning to their home country in Eurasia after completion of the program
· Preference will be given to those applicants living outside capital cities
· Preference will be given to applicants who have not had prior US study abroad experience.
