To promote a few of our priority programs, Marketing is creating a series of fact sheets that highlight the details and benefits of studying abroad in some featured destinations. The third Sending “Sell Sheet” (below) focuses on the Austria, Sweden, and Ghana High School Programs.
You can use this resource as a reference when talking to students about opportunities to go abroad, or as a guide for helping applicants choose the program that’s right for them.
Marketing will be producing additional Sell Sheets over the next couple of months, so keep an eye out for updates in MyAFS News!
