One of the advantages of hosting or enrolling an AYA student 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. AYA host families and high schools can redeem scholarships toward any of the AIFS or ACIS study or travel abroad programs described here. Your teen can, in turn, spend a rewarding semester abroad.
Programs are available in Austria, Brazil, Chile, France, Germany, Holland and Spain.
Students live in dormitories or with host families while they study in an international environment. Students may sign up independently on programs 28 days or longer in length and ACIS will assign a chaperone to them. Repeat families can choose either a scholarship or a travel voucher. Travel vouchers have no cash value. Follow the links above to learn more about these AIFS programs.
