We are pleased to announce for the second year, some YES alumni will have the opportunity to apply to participate in the Global Village for Future Leaders of Business and Industry. For the summer of 2010, 2003-04 and 2004-05 YES alumni, can apply for full scholarships to attend the program. This year, students should apply directly to Lehigh University using the University’s on-line application for the Institute. The application deadline is February 15, 2010.
The Global Village is an applied leadership, cross cultural training program designed for young professionals and experienced students who share the dream of building a leadership career in business and industry, who want to make a positive change in life, and who want to form an active and global network.
Through interactive seminars, networking, business trips, consulting projects, and cultural experiences, Global Village interns learn the tools essential to becoming a successful leader. During the six-week internship, from June 26 – August 7, 2010, participants will be among a diverse group of more than 75 interns, coming from more than 35 countries, representing a myriad of cultures, speaking multiple languages, and offering unique perspectives based on the group's varied educational backgrounds.
Since 2001, the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs, in cooperation with the Iacocca Institute, has annually offered a limited number of partial and full scholarships to FLEX alumni from Eurasia to participate in this professional development leadership opportunity. Lehigh University has submitted a renewal proposal requesting ECA funding for Global Village 2010. If approved, in addition to twelve FLEX students, the grant will fund a total of six YES alumni of the 2003-04 and 2004-05 programs, from the eligible countries of Afghanistan, Algeria, Bangladesh, Egypt, Gaza, Indonesia, Iraq, Israel, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Malaysia, Morocco, Nigeria, Oman, Pakistan, Philippines, Syria, Tunisia, Turkey, West Bank, and Yemen.
For the 2010 Institute, YES participants' tuition and travel will be covered in full and participants will receive a stipend to use for lodging, meals, and incidental expenses while on the program. Your existing YES grant funds will not be used for this conference.
The application deadline for receipt of qualified candidate applications to this year's program is February 15, 2010. Please send the Global Village Link below to YES alumni only from program years 2003-04 and 2004-05 .

This year, alumni should submit their applications electronically or in hard copy (only if necessary) directly to Lehigh University.

All the best,
Nancy
