There are 10 scholarships to be awarded to young educators (35 years old and younger) from any secondary school across the U.S. Ideal educators will be passionate about building global themes into the work that they do with students and will want to connect and network with educators and other young professionals from around the world. Scholarship winners will be invited to attend a 1.5 day Global Educators Academy workshop in New York City on August 7-8, 2025 preceding the AFS Youth Assembly on August 8-10, 2025. The scholarship covers the travel, hotel, event registration and materials, and most meals, so it’s a great opportunity for educators to grow professionally without a significant investment. Volunteers, exchange students, and host families are encouraged to nominate a young educator by April 22, 2025. Nominees will be asked to complete an application by April 27, 2025, so earlier nominations are helpful.
