The NH19 application cycle is well underway with over 300 students actively working on their applications to study abroad in 2019. That’s nearly 30 more applicants than we had this time last year. Thank you to all the volunteers getting students excited to start their AFS journey. Your hard work has paid off! Plus, a few NH19 Year Programs have already filled up including Belgium-Flanders, Iceland, Latvia, and Sweden. If you have an interested student for any of these programs, please encourage them to reach out to their Study Abroad Specialist to explore all their options!
While overall recruitment has been positive, we’re still actively recruiting and there are a few Year and Semester programs that are still struggling for more applicants. Here’s a list of countries to prioritize when speaking with prospective students and families interested in Year and Semester High School programs:
Keep in mind that the deadline to submit the full application for our Year and Semester High School programs is quickly approaching on December 19th. Be sure to encourage any interested students to submit by December 19th for the best chance of getting their top choice program!
Also, don’t forget that applications are open for all of our summer programs! The current deadline for 4-8 week programs is February 1st and the deadline for 1-3 week Global Prep programs is March 1st.
Thank you for all that you do to promote the AFS mission through study abroad!
