Parents or guardians of a selected student may apply for a grant. Grants are allocated on the basis of financial need.

The next closing date for students departing January to April 2009 for a grant is 15 November 2008. After that, the closing date for students departing in July to September 2009 is 15 February 2009.

To apply for a grant please complete the application form and email jessica.hattersley@afs.org, or post to the External Relations and Events Coordinator, AFS NZ, PO Box 5662 Lambton Quay Wellington 6145 .

Note:
Grants are provided as a funding of last resort. Students are expected to fundraise and grants are for only those who have limited fundraising opportunities.

Applications will not be accepted until November 2008 and February 2009. At that time it is anticipated that fundraising is almost completed and a grant is needed to supplement a shortfall in fundraising.
