Scholarships for U.S. Students

U.S. high schools participating in Academic Year in America (AYA) recieve an annual scholarship that can be awarded to a worthy American student from the school community.

One of the advantages of enrolling an AYA student in your school is access to the AIFS family of programs. AIFS offers a world of study abroad opportunities open to high school, pre-college and college students. In addition, the American Council for International Studies (ACIS), a division of AIFS, offers short-term travel programs for students, teachers and adults. AYA high schools can redeem scholarships toward any of the AIFS or ACIS study or travel abroad programs listed below.
