This year, the International Student Support Team is holding its first annual “Host an Ambassador” Campaign! Now is your chance to encourage families and individuals across the U.S. to host a bright, young scholarship student (like YOU!) next year. Create a short video (think: TV commercial) or print/artwork that makes the case for becoming a host family with American Councils. Why should people host scholarship students?
