YFU Alumni, Our scholarship offering is in jeopardy, and we need your help! As you know, YFU is proud to offer more than 200 scholarships each year for students to experience life in another country — more than any other high school exchange program! Thanks to the generous support of governments, corporate foundations, and individual donations, many students are able to participate in life-changing YFU programs who would not otherwise have the opportunity. But did you know that each year some of these amazing scholarships go unfilled? Sometimes even our full tuition scholarships have no applicants. Low application numbers can even result in YFU losing the scholarship opportunity in the future. This is where you come in! Please share our scholarship information with a young person, educator, or community leader that you know. If you live in one of these locations or know people who do, we want to hear your ideas for outreach and connecting with the local community. Please send your ideas to [email protected].
