FLEX is the program of the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs of the U.S. Department of State and American Council for Collaboration in Education and Language Study. The program is designed for high school age students (ages 15-17) from Eurasia and the winners will spend a year in the United States, living with a family and attending a U.S. high school.
I have an interest in this story as I know someone in the U.S. who was host to a student from Azerbaijan.
