Would an American citizen who finishes high school in Canada (not a resident of the U.S.) be eligible for a program with the following caveat:
"must be U.S. citizens or permanent residents of the United States with an alien registration receipt card in their possession at the time of application. Residents of any state may apply. "
Thank you!
You’re a US citizen, therefore you’re eligible. The fact that you go to school outside the U.S. is irrelevant.
Ok, thank you; just wanted to make sure! @guineagirl96
How would I fill out the application if all of the address spots indicate city/state/etc.?
Fill in your city as usual. Generally, the state box will have an option to the effect of “Foreign country.”
@NotVerySmart That is the problem… This program is very specific in terms of stressing “no international applicants.” There are no options for countries other than the U.S., so I am now not sure if I am simply ineligible.
Thanks for the reply!
While there are many US citizens your age who study outside the US, there is the possibility that you are the first one who has ever become interested in this specific program. Contact the program organizers (their email and/or telephone number should appear somewhere in the program information, let them know that you are a US citizen who is currently attending a school outside the US, and ask them what is you need to do in order to apply for this program. They may have the option of applying on paper, rather than through the website, if the address can’t fit.
@happymomof1 thank you!
