AFS International and Deaf Children Australia are offering a deaf or hearing impaired secondary school student a scholarship in Norway for 11 months.
The student will stay with a host family from August 2008 and attend a local school, experiencing the benefits of student exchange that they would otherwise not be able to experience.
The scholarship is worth $12,000 and covers return travel, orientation, enrichment activities and medical costs.
To be eligible, the deaf or hearing impaired student must:
* Be aged between 15.8 and 18.8 in August 2008;
* Have good health;
* Be able to demonstrate to work consistently through their academic records;
* Be mature enough to cope with the challenges of living in another country and feeling part of an entirely different community.
Applications close on Monday 31 March 2008. There is a non-refundable application fee of $80.
