February 2009 will see a fresh group of enthusiastic, excited international students arriving in Australia to embark on a remarkable exchange experience. Now is the time to broaden your horizons and learn about a new culture! AFS is currently accepting applications for volunteer host families. All you need is a spare bed, a commitment to share your home, family and culture, and a willingness to embrace a different culture.

The Eiffel Tower, the Arc de Triomphe, the Louvre. Such famous sites yet they offer only a glimpse into what France is truly about. Discover the country’s unique flavours on a student exchange in 2009! Applications are now being accepted for mid-year departures so call us on 1300 131 736 to find out more, or start your online application today.

Next year, AFS Australia will be celebrating 50 years of intercultural exchange. And to commemorate the occasion, we are proud to offer 20 partial scholarships (15 for early year and 5 for mid-year departures) to the children, step-children or grandchildren of any AFS returnee!
Have a look at the Next Generation page for more information, including details on how to apply!
