Comments from Students and parents
"The smile on this crocodile (student sent postcard) can't even compare
to how happy I am to be here! Thank you so much for helping me come to
Australia! This has definitely been one of the best experiences of my
life, and one that I will hold on to forever!.."

need-based students to support their study abroad...
Financial aid and

In some cases, the school will require the completion of forms commonly
referred to as the `consortium agreement’ – the AEC will then complete
this document and return to the home school.
