British American Foundation of Texas Junior Achiever Award

The purpose of the BAFTX Junior Achievers award is to provide a summer study program in the UK for academically adept students from low income families in Texas.

The award takes the form of a 12 day residential course in Great Britain, normally during the first two weeks of July, where the student will receive an introduction to British culture. The British Studies Summer Program, delivered by ACS International Schools, will normally include visiting sites of historic, cultural and artistic importance such as the Houses of Parliament, Tower of London, the Globe Theater, Westminster Abbey and other cities such as Oxford, Portsmouth and Bath. A sample itinerary is available here. The scholarship includes air/ground transportation, accommodation, meals, health insurance, passport (if required) and a spending allowance.
