The TechGirls Summer Exchange Program 2026 in the United States offers a fully funded opportunity for female high school students aged 15–17 who are passionate about STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics). Hosted at Virginia Tech and including a stay in Washington, D.C., the program spans 23 days in the USA and provides seven months of mentorship. Participants benefit from comprehensive funding, including visa fees, roundtrip international and domestic airfare, double-occupancy accommodations, all meals, local transportation, educational and cultural activities, and emergency health insurance. No IELTS or application fee is required, making it accessible to eligible candidates from a wide range of regions including Sub-Saharan Africa, East Asia/Pacific, Europe/Eurasia, Middle East/North Africa, South/Central Asia, Western Hemisphere, and the USA. The program is designed to empower young women in STEM, offering hands-on learning, mentorship, and cultural exchange. Only the first 125 eligible applications per country will be reviewed, so early application is strongly encouraged. The deadline for applications is January 20, 2026.
