Foreign Exchange student scholarships?
Are their any scholarships specifically made for foreign exchange students applying to college? Can someone please provide a link to a scholarship for this? What do colleges view exchange students as? I want to study abroad in Belgium my junior year of high school, and my mom says that colleges don't care. I'm trying to prove to her that they do.....please help!

Any reputable college will look very favorably on an applicant who has studied abroad. Students with this type of experience tend to have very desirable personal qualities, such as maturity, leadership, ability to adapt to new situations, command of a foreign language, etc. Companies you apply to in the future will look more favorably on you for your multi-lingual, multicultural experience, initiative, etc. Scholarships for foreign exchange students are rare. However, if you go through AFS and similar well established programs for high school juniors/seniors, you will have a family to live with, etc. It is not all that expensive and absolutely worthwhile.
