It's a request from the ex-vice president(胡科颖) of my society. So here goes,

"Students can apply for student exchange programmes through an organisation called AFS - American Field Service. These programmes range from 2 weeks to 1 year, depending on the programmes you choose. Right now, scholarship are only offered for 2 programmes, the YES programme and the Jenesys Programme.

YES programme - fully sponsored by US government. The duration of the programme is 6 months, from Jan to July in 2010, whereby 40 applicants from Malaysia will be selected to go to USA. (She actually experienced it herself)
JENESYS program - 2 weeks to Japan in Dec 09.

If you are interested in applying to other countries, you will have to pay yourselves. You can still apply for partial scholarships through AFS.

For further information, especially on the YES programme, feel free to contact(email) her at ocioyico@gmail.com or oci_oyico@hotmail.com

For more details, visit AFS website http://afsmas.org/mas_ma/home. http://74.52.0.194/usa_en/view/1546 provides info about YES program."

I act as a middleman, I don't really know anything, and I don't get any benefits from promoting it, but I'll try my best to help you. =] ~

Thanks,
Lunn ~

haha sianglunn, 17 years old d lo, still so cute adoi!

@kamun: nola actually i asked sianglunn first, then he didn't have the time to post, so then i asked you =) then i didn't have the time to post too, till just now.....

@kazekage: is this ting jing? ya, i'm sorry to say, if you are going on the YES program, you won't be able to attend JPA interview,(though they hold interviews in the Malaysian Embassy in Washington DC for us YES scholars during that time, but it really depends if u can make it onot - eg. you gotta buy an air ticket to go there, unless u are hosted there or somewhere nearby), so basically you hardly stand any chance of getting the scholarship.

But if you choose to join the JENESYS program, don't worry, it doesn't affect anything =) you can take it as a 2 weeks holiday to Japan ^^
