About the Scholarship

Now in its third year, Clements International’s Expat Youth Scholarship is a unique contest exclusively for expat students who spend their childhoods moving between different countries and cultures.

This year’s theme asks participants to create a video explaining their favorite thing about their host country and its culture.

Eligibility

Students ages 12-18 of any nationality who have resided in a foreign country for at least two consecutive years are eligible to apply.

You must have lived outside your home country (country of passport). If you have more than one passport, your home country is the country where you obtained your first passport.

How the Scholarship Works

We’re doing things a little differently this year, so here’s some more information about how the 2011 scholarship winners will be determined. This year, you have a vote!

The scholarship deadline is Friday, May 13, 2011 at 11:59 p.m. EST (U.S.).

- Once the scholarship contest closes, we will narrow the entries down to the top 12 with the help of our Judges Panel.

- The top 12 videos will be posted on the Expat Youth Scholarship Facebook page under the “Links” tab.

- During the month of August, members of the Expat Youth Scholarship fan page will be able to vote for their favorites using the “Like” feature. Voting (aka “Liking”) will end on August 31. (Make sure you tell your friends and family to join our page and vote!)

- The total number of fan “Likes” will determine the top 3 winners in each age category.
