During the month of April, AFS will match dollar-for-dollar any non-parental contributions made to your Sponsor an AFSer Online Fundraising account, up to $500. This means that if you can find people outside of your immediate family to contribute to your AFS tuition you could turn $500 into $1,000.
So good news, nonetheless! I also emailed AFS today about my application since I haven't heard from them in quite some time (7 or 8 weeks when they said 4-6). (I'm trying to be pacient) So when I hear back from them I will definitely keep you posted! :)
