Apply now for the McDonald's America Field Service (AFS) Intercultural Exchanges Scholarship for Junior Police Officers' children - deadline is November 22.

The non-profit making, volunteer-based programme operates in over 60 countries, allowing students to stay with host families and attend local schools for an academic year.

Applications are open for the 2001-2002 academic year, and the $66,000 scholarship covers round-trip international and local travel, school fees, orientation and medical costs.

Applicants must be 15 to 18 years old on the departure date. Transcripts must prove academic motivation - students with more than two failed subjects during the previous year will not be accepted.

AFS will handle the selection process independently. Students may indicate a preferred country but this is subject to final decision.
