Thank you to all of our students who submitted entries in our 2025 International Education Scavenger Hunt! It was a VERY close competition, but what matters most is the international education you all helped spread and the passion you shared for cultural youth exchange. Well done! Below are the winners who went above and beyond.
Our winners set up potlucks for family and friends, gave presentations on their home countries, wrote impactful letters, and made some very creative videos just to name a few. View below to see one of their entries!
First place and a $200 gift card goes to Gulzhan from Kazakhstan, studying in Texas with the Future Leaders Exchange (FLEX) program sponsored by the Department of State. From shaking hands with a politician to vlogging a day in her life in America, she claimed the top spot in our contest!
Second place and a $100 gift card goes to Helga from Spain, studying in Utah. She spent the month baking for her host family, trying new experiences, and sharing all the fun along the way!
Third place and a $50 gift card go to Lucie from France, studying in Colorado. She had a blast during the Scavenger Hunt, presenting her home country and teaching other students how to make crepes and croque monsieur!
Are you interested in making a student a part of your family? We are looking for American host families to welcome a student for Spring 2026 semester and the upcoming 2026-27 school year. Check out the profiles of our wonderful students. New student profiles go online every Thursday!
