ExCEL Abroad - is the reciprocal extension of Exchanges for Culture, Education, and Leadership (ExCEL). ExCEL Abroad provides scholarships for high school students from the United States to live and study in Lithuania for an academic year
This program is for high school students and the ones taking a gap year.
The first group of American high school students participating in ExCEL Abroad traveled to Lithuania for the 2015-2016 academic year.
Program participants serve as “youth ambassadors” of the United States. By forming lasting relationships within their host community, participants will promote mutual understanding between the U.S and Lithuania. Students live with a host family, attend a local high school, and engage in activities to learn about Lithuania’s people, culture, and values. Such activities can be through the host high school, through community organizations, through an independent study project, and through community service, in which participants are expected to take part.
