American Councils congratulates the 15 FLEX Finalists who will live and study in the United States for the 2015-16 Academic year. These students will live in an American Host family and study in an American high school. The FLEX competition this past year was highly competitive with less than 3% of all applicants selected to participate in this program. Congratulations again to the finalists and we wish you a fun, exciting, and eventful year in America!
