Great news! You can now view lists of ALL 2017-18 NSLI-Y summer and academic year finalists and 2017-18 YES Abroad finalists.
How to Access the Finalists Lists:
As a security measure to safeguard student privacy, volunteers must possess an AFS Wiki username and password to access the finalists lists. Please log into your AFS Wiki account and then visit the private NSLI-Y and YES Abroad Interviews Page, where you’ll find the lists at the very top of the page.
Please note the following important details about the finalists lists:
- These lists are accurate as of April 26, 2017.
- The lists do not contain declinations or alternates.
- Approximately 30 NSLI-Y finalists have declined the scholarship offer thus far and therefore do not appear on the NSLI-Y list.
- Finalists who have been assigned to AFS are highlighted in yellow.
- The lists are sorted by home state.
- Finalists lists will be available online until June 1, 2017.
Finding AFS NSLI-Y and YES Abroad Finalists in Global Link:
All confirmed AFS-implemented NSLI-Y and YES Abroad finalists can also be viewed in Global Link! To find finalists in your area, search for open service cases with the program codes “__nsnh17” (for NSLI-Y students) and “ypysnh17” (for YES Abroad students).
Important Pre-Departure Notes:
- Academic year NSLI-Y and YES Abroad students need an in-home interview.
- NSLI-Y summer finalists do not need an in-home interview.
- You may ask your TDS any questions about inviting AFS-implemented NSLI-Y and YES Abroad participants to Local Pre-Departure Orientations and scheduling in-home interviews. TDS’s may also contact nsliforyouth@afsusa.org or yesabroad@afsusa.org with any questions.
- Finalists who have been assigned to other implementing organizations should not be contacted by AFS unless they have previously expressed interest in being contacted.
We sincerely thank everyone who was involved in helping to successfully complete this past NSLI-Y and YES Abroad interview season!
