The program provides scholarship funding for students to travel to the United States, attend a US high school for a full academic year, and live with a US host family.
The Open World Program, established by the U.S. Congress in 1999, invites emerging political and civic leaders from Moldova and other former Eurasian countries to the United States for short-term professional visits.	The English Access Microscholarship Program (Access) provides a foundation of English language skills to non-elite, 14 - 18 year old students through afterschool classes and intensive summer learning activities.
The LFP affords promising young professionals from Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Moldova, Russia, Turkey and Ukraine the opportunity to gain practical experience in, and exposure to, United States government.
