Curious about International Student Exchange programs for high school students? Come hear about the experiences of Divine, Enya, and Sophia, three current exchange students from Fort Collins and Loveland. The students are part of the ASSE International Student Exchange Program. ASSE is a nonprofit organization that connects students from around the world with host families in the United States, fostering cultural exchange and global understanding.

These students have earned prestigious scholarships through two highly competitive programs:

· The Congress-Bundestag Youth Exchange (CBYX) – A program jointly funded by the U.S. Congress and the German Bundestag, which promotes mutual understanding between Germany and the United States through academic and cultural immersion.

· The Kennedy-Lugar Youth Exchange and Study (YES) Program – A U.S. State Department initiative that provides scholarships for students from countries with significant Muslim populations, fostering cross-cultural dialogue and leadership development.
