The English Access Microscholarship Program

The English Access Microscholarship Program is an international project created by the U.S Department of State which aims to help teens (13–20 years-old) from economically disadvantaged backgrounds gain opportunities in employment, education, and life in general.

Access promotes skills and knowledge in the English language, as well as giving students the ability to compete and participate in future exchanges and study in the United States.

[1] The principal objective of Access is to change the life of the students, improving their social skills and leadership.

The English Access Microscholarship Program (Access) provides a foundation of English language skills to bright, economically disadvantaged students, primarily between the ages of 13 and 20, in their home countries.

Access programs give participants English skills that may lead to better jobs and educational prospects.
