What is IELSP?

Offered by the United State Department of State, Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs, the Indonesia English Language Study Program (IELSP) is a scholarship program that grants undergraduate students across Indonesia the opportunity to attend an eight-week intensive English program at a University located in the United States.

This program will help rising young Indonesian leaders simultaneously improve their English language proficiency while developing their critical thinking skills. It will also provide them with an important opportunity to gain an enhanced understanding of American society and culture, as well as establish ties that will continue throughout their academic and professional careers.

Academically rigorous and intellectually challenging, each program will not only include opportunities for participants to practice their English skills through formal classroom instruction, but also through opportunities for informal discussion with American citizens from a variety of backgrounds and cultures.
