3. Access a computer, smartphone or other digital device with an integrated webcam and mic plus a stable internet (wifi) connection for taking part in the online live sessions and to access the GY Program content and forum.
4. Be available to participate in the AFS Global You Adventurer program for your desired dates.
5. Share in 1,000 characters or less how your community could be improved by embracing the power of diversity (using the application form provided to you).

Scholarships are awarded on a first-come, first-served basis and are awarded in order based on the applicants’ desired program start dates. Priority will be given to students from underrepresented backgrounds and communities. Selected partial scholarship awardees will be notified via email and will be provided with a secure payment link to complete the remaining tuition payment.

We will notify partial scholarship in writing by email prior to their respective cohort start date. Awardees must accept or decline the scholarship award in writing (via email and by following up as instructed online). If the awardee declines the award, the partial scholarship will no longer be available to them and waitlisted awardees will be notified in their place.
