Overview
 Scholarships to study Spanish - Our main goal at APSS has always been to promote international friendship through intercultural and language exchange in a shared effort with our associate institutions abroad. That goal has now grown into a worldwide outreach by the implementation of the APSS SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM which gives international students and teachers an opportunity to come to ARGENTINA to learn Spanish and share their culture and get to know ours in a friendly Spanish-speaking community at a minimum cost.
These Scholarships are directed to individual students and teachers who share our goals as well as students and teachers from associate institutions and the staff of companies from Europe, Japan, the United States and Brazil.
The Program consists of half scholarships to take Spanish courses of 4 weeks (80 hours in all – 4 hours per day from Mondays to Fridays) at APSS Spanish School Headquarters in Córdoba – Argentina while fully immersed in our culture and way of life.
The Scholarship includes: the course, course materials, access to CD-rom lessons on computer and guided audio practice, varied cultural and entertainment activities and Certificate of Completion. Parcipants also have free access to the Internet. Our International Students Advisors are available all the time to help students make the most of their stay at APSS.
Accommodation, meals, plane ticket –international and local- and insurance are not included in the Scholarship Program. The health insurance has to be approved by APSS before the student receives the scholarship.
Courses start every 3 months and candidates should apply at least 4 weeks before the course start date. Each group has to have 6 students minimum and 10 students maximum.
