News: We have two pieces of awesome news. First, applications no longer require a recommendation. Please remind your communities of this- we hope to encourage last minute applications.

Second, we now have confirmation that DYLEP alumni will be able to apply for grants for up to $25,000 from the U.S. government to complete their projects. This is a fantastic opportunity for young entrepreneurs and is worth advertising!

Hello DYLEP friends,

We are writing to remind you that there is ONE WEEK LEFT to apply to the Digital Young Leaders Exchange Program (DYLEP). Please remind your students to submit their applications for this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity at www.dylep.org/apply.

We are happy to announce two pieces of exciting news for DYLEP 2017. First, to encourage more last minute applicants, we no longer require recommendations as part of the application. Second, at the end of DYLEP, students will have the opportunity to apply for $1000 grants from the U.S. Department of State to complete their personal community development projects.

Now more than ever, helping American youth to develop their understanding of the Middle East is of critical importance. DYLEP offers the chance for students to build positive relationships with teens in Iraq, from the comfort of their own homes, on full scholarship.  For more information about DYLEP curriculum and activities, please visit www.dylep.org.

As always, please do not hesitate to reach out with any questions.

All our best,
