Spotted: Romania’s Next Global Leaders? ✨

Pack your bags, because this summer, Purdue University is calling. The Benjamin Franklin Transatlantic Fellowship 2025 isn’t just a program—it’s an incredible four-week experience where leadership meets diplomacy, and ambition meets opportunity.

Think high-level seminars on democracy, civil society, and global engagement, led by experts who know how to shape the future. Exclusive workshops, cultural deep-dives, and volunteering projects that will elevate your resume and mindset. Oh, and did we mention? You’ll be staying with an American host family and get an insider’s pass to U.S. culture, no tourist traps included.

The best part? It’s all covered—flights, accommodation, meals, and activities. That means zero costs, just pure opportunity.

So, who gets in?

Only the best, of course. If you:
✔ Were born between June 24, 2007, and June 24, 2009 (16-18 years old)
✔ Have top-notch English skills and a passion for international relations
✔ Are a leader—whether in school, your community, or beyond
✔ Have excellent grades and a curiosity for the world
✔ Haven’t studied or traveled to the U.S. before

…then you just might have what it takes. But you need to act fast—applications close February 17, 2025.

Still on the fence? Just ask Maria, a past fellow:
"The Benjamin Franklin Transatlantic Fellowship made my summer unforgettable. I returned home with a completely new perspective, lifelong friends from across Europe and America, and a deep understanding of diplomacy and leadership. If you want to challenge yourself, grow, and experience the U.S. like never before—apply. You won’t regret it.”
