Benefits of Affiliation

Many of your students may already be attending programs through the American Institute For Foreign Study.  By becoming an Affiliate, your institution will receive a variety of benefits to assist your office and students.

Add to your program offerings
Your institution can add overseas campuses to its curriculum without any investment of time or money and with no commitment of present or future resources.

Financial Benefits
AIFS will provide a fixed grant for each student participating in a semester or summer program. At the discretion of your institution, these funds will either be applied directly to your students’ AIFS program invoices, or paid to your institution for the administration of grants/scholarships or for other support services.

Affiliate Scholarships
New affiliates receive two $500 scholarships to award to students going on AIFS programs.

Advertising
Affiliates receive preference in the distribution of funds for the “Why Study Abroad” cooperative advertising program.  Grants of up to $200 per year are awarded to promote international education.

Program Site Visits
All AIFS Affiliates are eligible to request to participate in limited-enrollment, scheduled site visits with costs covered by AIFS.

Special Billing Arrangements
AIFS will arrange for the invoicing of your students and/or your institution, designed to specifications you request.
