Scholarships and Grants for High School Students

<p>Hi all,
I am looking around for some scholarships to apply to for a study abroad program and have been fairly unsuccessful. I know what program I want to do, its through my youth group, but as far as financial aid, well to do it I'll need scholarships. And tips on the direction to go in will be very appreciated.</p>

<p>There are a lot of study abroad program’s out there (especially in the U.S.). Off the top off my head here are a few to get you started:</p>

<p>Rotary Youth Exchange (full scholarship) just pay for plane tickets. You need to apply through you’re local Rotary District.

<p>AFS USA has a few scholarships</p>

<p>YFU-USA more scholarships available than AFS (I think).</p>

<p>[YFU</a> Scholarships](<a href=“http://yfuusa.org/american-students/scholarships.php]YFU”>Youth For Understanding USA)</p>

<p>YES Study Abroad Scholarships
[Kennedy-Lugar</a> Youth Exchange and Study (YES) Program](<a href=“http://yesprograms.org/]Kennedy-Lugar”>http://yesprograms.org/)</p>

<p>NSLI-Y Scholarship.
[NSLI-Y</a> For Youth](<a href=“http://www.nsliforyouth.org/]NSLI-Y”>http://www.nsliforyouth.org/)</p>

<p>You could also do some fundraising in your community to get the extra funds. For example: a local race, a musical festival or dare I say it, get a job and save the money from that.</p>
