About
These scholarships are awarded to individuals who have applied, or are in the process of applying, to travel as an IFYE.
IFYE was formerly called International Farm Youth Exchange. Delegates, ages 19 and older, visit a foreign country or countries for three to six months. They live and work with various host families during their stay. Programs vary from country to country, with some emphasizing an agricultural work experience, volunteering at an adult training center, or working with a local youth development program similar to 4-H.
The IFYE Association of the USA, Inc. conducts international exchange programs and cross-cultural education while promoting global awareness. The IFYE foreign exchange program offers an opportunity to experience another way of life by living it: IFYE is truly a “learn by doing” experience.
