ASSE Student Exchange Programs is looking for American families to host high school students from Spain.
The students received scholarships through a partnership with the Amancio Ortega Foundation in Spain. The Foundation’s goal is to bring Spanish scholarship students to the U.S. The Foundation screens and selects 100 students who have passed the high academic qualifications, as well as are financial need-based to provide a full scholarship for them to study in the U.S. for one academic year.
The students are chosen as ambassadors of Spain to learn and grow from their year abroad in the U.S., in order to apply what they have learned to their hometown, community and country.
ASSE is proud to be a part of this prestigious program and knows that our host families and schools will appreciate these students and their hard work ethic and desire to grow and learn from their American families and schools.
ASSE is currently seeking host families for these well-qualified, bright, motivated and well-screened students coming from all areas of Spain. By living with local host families and attending local high schools, the Spanish scholarship students acquire an understanding of American values and build on leadership skills. Upon returning home in the spring, the students will share what they have learned and will make a significant difference in their country.
To become a host family or find out more about ASSE and the program, call (800) 733-2773, go online to ASSEhosts.com or email asseusawest@asse.com
