The State Department announced today that 350 Congress-Bundestag Youth Exchange Program (CBYX) scholarships have been awarded to high-achieving U.S. high school students, recent high school graduates with an interest in vocational fields, and young professionals from 50 states and Washington, D.C. This group of young Americans will travel to Germany for the 2023-2024 academic year marking the 40th anniversary of this important cultural exchange of the U.S. Congress and the German Bundestag.
Tomorrow at the State Department, U.S. Special Envoy for Global Youth Issues, Abby Finkenauer, will speak with the 350 Americans returning from the 2022-2023 academic year program. The group will then visit with their elected representatives in the U.S. Congress.
