I don’t have much money and my parents can’t pay the entire program fee. Can AFS help?
Yes, if you’re willing to help raise the money you need. There are many community organizations (you could start with your local AFS Chapter) that will help a good cause (like your AFS experience), and we’ll give you tips on getting their support. Fundraising is also important: garage sales, car washes, and letters asking for sponsors are just a few strategies that work. Included with your full application packet, which AFS will send you after we receive your preliminary application, will be a copy of Financing Your AFS Experience, which is full of great fundraising ideas. Also, AFS Staff give telephone workshops on fundraising for students going abroad. AFS provides scholarships to more than 30% of our participants. Note: If you let AFS select your destination country, you may become eligible for additional scholarships and financial aid. Call 1-800-AFS-INFO for more information.
