One of only 250 in United States, FHS student earns prestigious Youth Exchange scholarship
Stephan Havrylyak, a student at Farragut High School, is one of 250 high school students from across the United States to be selected as a 2023-2024 recipient of the highly prestigious Congress-Bundestag Youth Exchange Scholarship.
Initiated in 1983 to strengthen ties between Germany and the United States, the CBYX program is jointly funded and managed by the U.S. Congress and the German Bundestag. “Students who participate in the program learn about German culture firsthand by living with a host family and attending a German high school for a year,” A Youth for Understanding USA Intercultural Exchange Program press release stated. “Youth For Understanding USA administers the CBYX program in Tennessee through a cooperative agreement with the U.S. Department of State’s Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs.”
