Spring 2019:
Our Spring 2019 recruitment is coming to an end so we wanted to thank all volunteers for your hard work in promoting study program programs and conducting interviews. We will be sending approximately 85 students on a high school program this upcoming winter/spring! There will be 55 students participating in a semester program and 30 students participating in a year program!
Although most deadlines for Spring 2019 have passed, there are a few programs that can still accept students. Our programs in Panama and Paraguay are still open and can accept applications until December! If you have a student interest in one of these programs, please let us know or encourage them to contact us at 1(800)AFS-INFO.
Fall 2019:
Our recruitment for Summer and Fall 2019 is well underway! Our Study Abroad Specialist team is working closely with applicants and guiding them through the admissions process.
Keep an eye out for interview emails as students pay their application fees and move forward in the application process.
