SUSI Exchange Program 2025

The SUSI Exchange Program 2025 in the USA is now open for applications! This fully funded program, the Study of the United States Institutes (SUSI) for Student Leaders, lasts 5 to 6 weeks and does not require IELTS/TOEFL for eligibility.

There are two available programs:

• The “Student Leaders – Comparative Public Policymaking” program, open to both male and female applicants.
• The SUSI Madeleine K. Albright Young Women Leaders Program, which is exclusively for female candidates.

The SUSI 2025 Student Leaders Program will take place at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, while the SUSI Young Women Leaders Program will be held at the University of Kansas. This is a highly regarded short-term international exchange program with no application fee.

The goal of the SUSI program is to foster leadership skills in young students, while also providing an opportunity to explore U.S. culture and its approach to diversity. Participants will engage in lectures, discussions, leadership activities, volunteer opportunities, educational travel, and site visits.
