Application review will be conducted by local partners in conjunction with the Mansfield Center of the University of Montana. Successful applicants will progress to a telephone interview between May 1-15, 2020 in order to assess English-language skills and further ascertain suitability for the program.

A select number will be chosen for personal interviews June 1-15, 2020. In addition to the primary participants, one to two alternate participants will be selected.

Those applying for the first cohort (spring) will notified by July 1, 2020.

A total of 2-4 successful Myanmar applicants will participate in the YSEALI Civic Engagement Fellows program, traveling to the US October 13-November 19, 2020.

Selected Southeast Asian applicants will host U.S. partners in their country for a 10-14 day period sometime between August 2020 and June 2021. Approximately 13 U.S. partners will travel to Southeast Asia, so this will not be a one-to-one exchange. Not each Southeast Asian participant will host a U.S. participant, but each Southeast Asian applicant must agree to do so in case they are chosen to host a U.S. participant.
