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].
Click on any of the scholarships listed to the
right to be taken directly to its page.

and selection process is available here:
