“Opportunities are everywhere, it’s just that we don’t want to fight even if we are alone”, this is the message conveyed by Honey Yahdillah, a student majoring in Nutrition in the Faculty of Public Health Andalas University, who is currently in the United States participating in the Global UGRAD program at Troy University, Alabama.

“… I was diligent in finding information and was following the Instagram @io.unand. Then there was information on the International Office’s Instagram that there was a socialization of the Global UGRAD program, and then I joined. When I was in senior high school, I participated in the AFS-YES program, but I failed in the 3rd stage, but now I have another chance, try again, never giving up…”
The UGRAD Global Program is part of the Fullbright Scholarship program which allows awardess to exchange to universities in the United States for 6-12 months for free or fully funded by the United States.
