Editing Student exchange program (section)

=== Short-term exchange ===
A short-term exchange program is also known as STEP. These focus on home-stays, language skills, community service, or cultural activities. High school and university students can apply for the programs through various government or non-governmental organizations that organize the programs. A short-term exchange lasts from one week to three months and doesn't require the student to study in any particular school or institution. The students are exposed to an intensive program that increases their understanding of other cultures, communities, and languages.<ref>{{Cite web|date=2015-01-27|title=What are Short-Term Programs?|url=https://educationusa.state.gov/your-5-steps-us-study/research-your-options/short-term/what-are-short-term-programs|access-date=2021-09-26|website=EducationUSA|language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|date=2019-09-06|title=Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs - Office of Non-Public Education|url=https://www2.ed.gov/about/inits/ed/non-public-education/other-federal-programs/dos.html|access-date=2021-09-26|website=www2.ed.gov|language=en}}</ref>
