AFS scholarship scheme starts in 2019-20, above are the pictures of the 2 scholars and their principals.

1. Why should I become an AFS scholarship sponsor?

Help Hong Kong secondary school students who are full of potential, not receiving any government subsidies but could not afford the cost of exchange program, offer them the opportunity to join the life-changing AFS year exchange program!

AFS is a non-profit voluntary organization without government funding, also a charitable institution which is exempt from tax under section 88 of the Inland Revenue Ordinance. Therefore, it is very difficult for us to operate our own scholarship scheme if we solely rely on one-off donations and other income.

Only when we have the additional support from 5 sponsors, we could maintain the operation of AFS scholarship scheme.

2. How can I become a sponsor?

We are going to open up 5 quotas for the sponsorship. As long as you are willing to donate HK$30,000 yearly for 3 years, you could simply contact us by email ([email protected]) or phone (2802 0383) on or before 15 November 2019.

After confirming to be a sponsor, please sign the confirmation letter provided by us and finish your donation for the first year within 1 month. For the donation deadline in the next 2 years, it will be 31 July in both 2020 and 2021.

3. How many students will AFS scholarship scheme help?

We hope that our AFS scholarship could help at least 2 students every year, we will also try our best to gather more fund and help more students! This is ready not an easy goal for us, but if there are support from sponsors, we could at least promise that we will have minimum 2 scholars every year in the next 3 years*. Of course the more sponsors we have, the easier for us to fulfil this goal, so please support us!

*Next 3 years means program years starting in August to September 2020 / 21 / 22, ending in June to July 2021 / 22 / 23

4. How AFS Hong Kong choose the scholars?

5. Where will the names of sponsors appear?

Set Up Your Own Scholarship!

Have you ever thought of setting up a scholarship that is named by you? Every year we received many year exchange program applications from underprivileged students who are receiving government subsidy. However, while many of them did pass the selection, there are still a lot of applicants who could not receive our scholarship. So if you are willing to give them a life-changing opportunity, talk to us!

Please feel free to contact us by email ([email protected]) or phone (2802 0383).
