Local Scholarships

In addition to national scholarships available to all students, AFS-GPS grants scholarships each year to our local students.  Qualifications vary depending on the program chosen and the amount of national scholarships received.

Our need based scholarships are:

  • To help purchase domestic travel to a gateway city
  • Region specific  (i.e. for students going to Central America)
  • Country specific (i.e. for students going to China, Costa Rica etc.)

More information on local scholarships is given once students going abroad have completed initial application paperwork and the AFS-USA needs assesment has been submitted to your admissions advisor.
