Congress-Bundestag Youth Exchange for Young Professionals (CBYX) 2026/2027: Saturday, November 1 (Application Deadline)

The Congress-Bundestag Youth Exchange for Young Professionals (CBYX) is a fellowship funded by the German Bundestag and U.S. Department of State. It annually provides 65 American and 65 German young professionals, between the ages of 18-24, the opportunity to spend one year in each other's countries, studying, interning, and living with hosts on a cultural immersion program. One of our University of Michigan 2025 graduates won this fellowship for 2025-2026.

The CBYX program for Americans consists of three phases:
* Intensive Language Training: Two months of intensive German language training
* Study Phase: One semester of classes in one’s academic or career field at a university, technical, or professional school
* Internship Phase: Three- to five-month internship in one’s career field

CBYX is open to candidates in all career fields, and applicants from a broad range of backgrounds are selected for the program each year. CBYX is sponsored in the U.S. by the Department of State’s Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs, under the authority of the Fulbright-Hays Act of 1961, as amended. Cultural Vistas has administered CBYX for Young Professionals for 40 years.

Cultural Vistas partners with the U.S. Department of State on the CBYX program. The program is currently reviewed to ensure compliance with recent executive orders and other guidance.
