Asiamerica A.C.E.
Asiamerica A.C.E. was founded by
and is staffed by Asian and American educators with decades of
experience as both students and teachers in Asia and America who
have devoted themselves to true interchange of education and
culture. Far too many Asians live and study in the U.S. and
return to their countries knowing only the very limited student
life of their individual campus; likewise most Americans flock
together in visits and stays in Asia and lose the opportunity of
really mastering another language and culture.
It is with the above in mind that Asiamerica A.C.E. aims to
broaden the intercultural process by fostering understanding and
diplomacy at the grassroots level only from which international
peace may spring.
PROGRAMS
Asiamerica A.C.E. co-operates with
numerous established exchange organizations and fully accredited
private and public colleges and universities throughout the
United States.
*High school level exchanges are arranged for 14 to 18 year old
students from Asia who will live in small-town communities in
the U.S. with host American families while attending local
government high schools. American high school students come to
Asia to live with an Asian family and attend local high schools
for up to a year.
College and university exchange students from Asia, aged 17 and
above, who have completed high school or the equivalency,
receive partial scholarships for up to four years of study
toward the bachelor degree in his/her chosen field. While
attending university the exchange student lives with an American
host family full-time or with American roommates in dormitories.
American students live with Asian host families while attending
one or more years at an Asian institution of higher learning.
REQUIREMENTS
Both high school and university
exchange students should have and must maintain a minimum 2.5
cumulative grade point average and should possess strong English
language skills. High school applicants will be given the
Secondary Level English Proficiency Test and university
candidates may be required to take the TOEFL. Students in both
programs should have cheerful, outgoing personalities and will
regularly be required as exchange students to address school
groups, church, business and community organizations to inform
them about their native lands, customs and culture. This will
involve demonstrations of arts, crafts, music and dance as well
as preparation of various foods from the home country.
APPLICATION & SELECTION
Selection and placement in a
specific program will be done on an individual basis as early in
the application process as possible. Here it is absolutely
necessary that the parents or guardian who will be responsible
for the financial support of the exchange student be present at
the application/counseling interview.
Final selection for both the high school and university
exchanges will be made based not only upon the English
proficiency exams and interview but also on past academic
record, references from teachers and community leaders, and
review of the entire application file by the head offices and
registrars in the United States.
