Shaping
leaders through cultural immersion, the Coast Guard offers an international postgraduate
program unlike any other - the Olmsted Scholar Program. A unique experience open
to qualifying officers, the Olmsted Scholar Program transports participants overseas
to undergo a cultural transformation, enabling them to learn a foreign language
and then pursue a graduate degree at an international university. Upon successful
completion of their foreign language training in the United States, scholars and
their families will be relocated abroad to pursue a degree in their designated country.
From Poland and Brazil to Italy and Japan, scholars dive head-first into a pool
of cultural waters, as they adjust to the local customs, traditions, politics and
popular culture of their new countries. With over 20 countries to choose from, scholars
will mold themselves into multicultural leaders of the future during this two to
three year program.
