Torrey Pines High School student Albert Jen is one of 250 high schoolers from around the country who received a Congress-Bundestag Youth Exchange Scholarship, which allows him to spend his senior year in Germany.
“I wanted to pursue this scholarship because of my two most prominent hobbies: cycling and also cars,” said Jen, 17, who will be abroad from August to next June. “I knew that Germany was the place for me just because of their love for cycling and also how bike-friendly it is.”
Jen will attend classes at a German high school and live with a host family as part of the program, which has served more than 27,000 students since it was established in 1983. Students from Germany will be coming to America to live with host families here.
