YFU summer exchange program

Applying to College
1

<p>I read that colleges like exchange programs where you got a "competitive scholarship". Does an exchange program with YFU fall into that category? I went to Japan last summer on a $4000 scholarship through YFU so I think it does but not sure because im pretty sure YFU requires everyone to have a scholarship... </p>

<p>Also, are competitive exchange programs good for applications? I mean exchange programs where you apply for a scholarship and do an interview, not just one where you simply pay to go.</p>

<p>thanks</p>

<p>Where are you going to specify that you got a scholarship to attend? Are you listing it as an EC or summer activity?</p>

<p>Just a note of clarification. While most program options for YFU program to Japan for the summer are scholarship only; all YFU scholarships are merit based and competitive. While most going to Japan have won a scholarship not all applicants win. Good luck. Let us know if your exchange did indeed give you a competitive edge. <a href="mailto:marketing@yfu.org">marketing@yfu.org</a>. - Lisa</p>
